  I am trying to import a blog from a second Tumblr account, but the importer page still shows my other account’s blog. Is it possible to do this?

  The tumblr is lanean-archive

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

  Hi there,

  If you connect a Tumblr account that connection exists for all sites in your WordPress.com account, not just the site on which you created it.

  Go to the importer page on the site and disconnect the importer, and go to settings for the first Tumblr account and disconnect WordPress there:

  https://www.tumblr.com/settings/apps

  Then log into the second Tumblr account, before reconnecting from the importer here on WordPress.com.

  I can’t go to the settings on the first Tumblr account, because I deleted it after the import completed.

  Reach out to Tumblr to see if that’s something they can restore for you. Let us know what you find out.
