  I wanted to restart the import of my tumblr blog because I thought the proces had stalled. I clicked on clear account information and disconnect from tumblr. When I try to import again it says that there is still an import running. How do I stop that import to restart?

  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 your 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.
