How come I am only allowed to import up to 150 Tumblr blogs?

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

@hopkinsthemovie can you clarify whether you mean 150 separate tumblr sites, or whether you mean 150 posts on one blog?

If you’re trying to upload 150 post and they aren’t all making it, my guess is that you’re running out of space, as the free plans only have so much space. You’ll want to upgrade if you need more space than that.

I mean 150 blogs on one Tumblr site.

We don’t have any such limit, unless you’re running out of space for media uploads (images, etc).

What is the URL of the site you’re importing into? We’ll take a closer look once we know which site to check. :)

I am trying to import my Tumblr to my WordPress as a means of backing up my blogs. The only media I have posted are embedded videos from my YouTube channel.

Yes, you’re only using 108.2 KB out of the site’s 3.0 GB upload limit, so it’s not that.

I see that you’ve trashed several posts over the past few minutes, can you let us know why?

It’s because I don’t want to have any duplicate posts if I try to import with an XML file.

The importer won’t duplicate any posts. :)

Even if I have since edited them in some way?

We’ll be matching against title, but yeah it’s always safer to delete first if you don’t mind doing the work. :)

I tried to import my Tumblr to WordPress with an XML file, but I get an error message regarding authors.

Would you please quote the error?

There don’t appear to be any authors in your import file.
Make sure you are using a valid WordPress export file in XML or ZIP format. Still need help?

Oh sorry, I didn’t know you were referring to a Tumblr file on the XML import.

The XML importer is only for WordPress export files.

We only support the direct method via the Tumblr importer: https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-tumblr/

I see that your Tumblr importer is still active, would you like me to reset it?

Yes; maybe that’ll update how many posts there should be (166).

Alright, I’ve reset the importer. Please start the import again, and this time it should work. :)

This time, all 166 posts were imported. If I need to import new Tumblr posts, will that work?
staff-blorbo · Staff · Jul 2, 2019 at 12:16 am

Yes it will work going forward. :)

I ran into this issue today even though I only had 6 blogs on my Tumblr. The WordPress blog in question is as follows:
