  I am attempting to import my tumblr account, however it was taking a very long time. I canceled the import and have attempted to start over. It allowed me to cancel the import, and I’ve both cleared my account and disconnected from tumblr, then tried reconnecting. Every time I try to start the importer again, it gives me the same message, and it feels as though I’m stuck in a limbo of not being able to do what I want.

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

  See: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/tumblr-imports/
  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.
