  The process for importing from Tumblr as described here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-tumblr/ returns a 401 error even after repeated checking of the OAUTH key and the secret key, even after generating a new set of keys. What is the actual procedure for importing a Tumblr into WordPress?

  Hi there,

  On what site are you working? The account you’re using to post here does not own any sites on WordPress.com.

  If you’re using the open source WordPress software at another host, please ask for help at https://wordpress.org/support/ instead.

  For that version of WordPress you’ll need to install the Tumblr Importer plugin, which you should be able to install from WP-Admin ->Tools ->Import on your site.
