  Hi, I’m trying to import my tumblr blog to a new wordpress blog. It isn’t quite working; the process stopped, and even after ‘deleting account information’ multiple times it now won’t start again. The message I get is that it ‘cannot import multiple blogs at the same time. please wait until the previous one is ready’, but there is no previous one. How do I solve this? I really want to preserve my blog somewhere safer.

  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.
