Importing a different tumblr blog

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi,
    I have finished importing a tumblr blog. However, I would also like to import some content from a different blog with a different account (it’s always mine, but it’s connected to a different e-mail so it results as a completely different account according to tumblr), but I can’t seem to find a way to disconnect the importer from the blog it just finished importing and connect it to a new one.
    Is there a way to do this?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Did you get the email notification that the import was finished on WordPress.com? It looks like it is still wrapping up on my side. Once it is finished, you should be able to connect your other Tumblr account and process another import with out any problem.

    Actually, I did get an email saying that the import was complete…
    But, if this is the issue, I’ll just wait some more and see if anything changes.
    Thanks for the help!

  • Hi there,

    There isn’t currently any import running or queued on your WordPress.com site. So if you want to import another Tumblr site, please start the import.

    If the other Tumblr you want to import belongs to a different Tumblr account, disconnect the importer on our end, log out of Tumblr and log back in as the other account you want to import from, and then reconnect the importer on our end.

    Thanks for the help, but it keeps connecting to the blog I just imported, even if I put in the password and e-mail of the other one… Is there a way to just clean up everything?

  • @feynavaley sorry about that. Can you try connecting with an incognito window in Chrome, and let us know whether that helps? I suspect your browser is remembering the connection and it’s getting stuck.

    Thank you! I did try your suggestion, but it still connected me to the old blog… I guess I’ll just try to manually copy the post, then.
    Still, thanks for the help

    I have the exact same problem. My import finished on 11.10.18. I’ve used two diffrent computers. Tried going incognito. Nothing. Only the original import shows up.

    Hi feynavaley,

    Do you also have the same trouble when trying to import using a completely different browser? For example, Firefox.
