  Whenever I publish something on wordpress, I connect it to my tumblr account to automatically publish there.
  But my post appears on tumblr as if I’ve posted the whole thing there. It doesn’t appear as an excerpt or a few lines with a ‘view this on wordpress’
  I’ve tried writing excerpts and custom messages to see if it was the cause, but it doesn’t make a difference. How do I solve this issue?

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

  Hi,

  From my testing, there doesn’t seem to be an option to customize the content that is shared on Tumblr. The default format is that the first few lines of the post is shown on Tumblr with a link back to the actual post.

  After re-reading, I understand that it’s being posted as the full text. This doesn’t seem to be the expected behavior.

  Can you share the Tumblr link to the referred post? Do you remember how the integration was configured? Was it using the My Sites > Sharing?

  I did some testing on my Tumblr and the share did look fine:

  Hi, I deleted the previous posts and opted for the share link button at the bottom of my post.

  But this one is recently publicized …

  I initially connected my tumblr account using the one you mentioned, through My Sites > Sharing > Tumblr
