    Hi there,
    I want to import my blog from Tumblr to WordPress. But ‘it’ won’t let me do it..
    When I’m about to start the import, it asks me to click ‘Connect to Tumblr to begin the import’ (or something like that).

    When I then click the button, a box appears saying ‘there was a problem connecting to Tumblr – please come back in a moment’ -ish..

    I’ve tried to import for 2 days now. It doesn’t seem to work. Anyone who knows what I’m talking about? And even better: has a solution?

    There appear to be issues at Tumblr’s end of things today.

    When we need Staff help with issues Volunteers cannot resolve like this one we type modlook into the sidebar tags on our forum threads. I did that for you. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then we subscribe to this thread so we are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

    Hi there,

    I was able to successfully import a site from Tumblr a few minutes ago using Google Chrome. Can you please tell me what browser you are using?

    Please try clearing your browser cookies and cache and see if you can connect to Tumblr then, and also try using a different browser if possible.
