  I started the import last night. After 12 hrs….nothing. So, I hit Clear Data and tried again. Now it’s telling me I have to wait for the first imoort to process. Why can’t I clear and re-start?

  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.
