  I’m trying to import my tumblr account and when I hit the ‘connect to tumblr’ button, my tumblr page briefly appears as does the word ‘oops’. I get nothing after that.

  Anyone know what is causing the ‘oops’ and/or tips to import my tumblr?

  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.

  Hi –

  Please confirm which site you’re trying to import on to as I do not see any pending imports at lonelychicagogirl.wordpress.com.

  I just figured out how to connect my tumblr to my wordpress, but I’m still getting the “oops” message when I try to import my tumblr.

  Any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong?

  @lonelychicagogirl, can you try once more? I’ve reset the importer for you just in case.

  Also, can you let us know what browser and type of computer you are using?

  If you see the “Oops” message again, please copy and paste the full message — hopefully it will give us more information. Thanks in advance!
