  My tumblr import took a couple of days to start and then stopped and hasn’t imported anything more for days now, I was wondering if my main blog was simply too big for the importer to handle? Would it be possible to clear everything I’ve imported so I could import a different blog that is smaller?

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

  Hi there,

  Please see this post regarding Tumblr imports:
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/tumblr-imports/

  If you suspect your import may have stalled because you disconnected or ran over your limit, or for some other reason (aside from it taking a long time), please create a new thread in the forums, include a link to the site you’re importing to, and add the tags modlook and tumblr import to the thread, and a member of staff will check your importer for you.

  Hope this helps!

  Hi there,

  It appears the Tumblr import on your site has failed, so I’ve reset the importer so you can try again. Please let us know if it hasn’t completed after 24 hours.

  If some posts have already imported they will be skipped by the importer during your next attempt, so they should not be duplicated.

  If you want us to completely empty your WordPress.com site first, please confirm – that will remove ALL content currently on the site, not just imported content, and the process cannot be reversed later. We have no way to remove only imported content from a site.

  Thank you so much, and yes I’d like you to completely empty my wordpress.com site https://greenokapi.wordpress.com as the only things there are imported things anyway
  Thank you again

  Thanks for confirming.

  I’ve started the process for emptying your site. Please give it a few hours so the process completely finishes before you start a new import. Once you see there are no more posts or media files on your site it will be safe to restart the import.
