  Hello,
  I tried to import my Tumblr blog and left the importer to run for almost 12 hours, where it made absolutely no progress. I tried to cancel the import and clear the account info the tumblr blog to start over but now the importer page just tells me I need to allow the importer to complete its process before I can start a new import, no matter how many times I click ‘clear account information.’ What do I do to start over the import process and how do I ensure that it is successfu?

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

  Due to the changes at tumblr there is currently heavy traffic at the WordPress.com importer so please be patient as staff work through the backlog. They need to reset the importer themselves.

  Howdy –
  I’ve reset the Tumblr importer for your site so you can try again.

  If it seems to take long, please be patient and don’t try cancelling the process yourself – we’re experiencing a high volume of imports from Tumblr at the moment causing a backlog of pending imports in our system. The imports are being run in the order they are submitted.

  If the new import doesn’t complete within 24 hours, please let us know.
