  It’s been 24 hours, just want to make sure it’s still in the queue.

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

  Hi there,

  I’ve double checked to confirm your import is indeed still queued and it’s going to start soon. It didn’t cancel. But please do reconnect to your Tumblr account if you’ve disconnected it. And please be patient and keep your connection from Tumblr. Do not try to cancel your import.

  We’re processing quite a few imports from Tumblr at the moment, which is causing a backlog of imports in our system. While it may look like your import failed, it’s just in line for processing, and luckily it’s still in the queue. Please allow this to run for the next 24 hours, and if it hasn’t completed by then, update us here.

  Please take a look at this thread if you haven’t already: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/tumblr-imports/

  Thank you for your patience.

  It’s been going on 48 hours now. I’ve closed out of the importer many times – I assume that’s okay to do as long as the tumblr account is still connected?

  Hi there,

  Your import is still queued and it’ll start soon, but at this point I’m not able to give an estimate on how long it might take to catch up with the backlog, though.

  Also, there’s no problem in closing the import page everything happens in the backend between Tumblr’s servers and ours :)

  I have another, larger tumblr blog I need to import as well. Is there any way to get that in the queue now or do I have to wait until this one is complete before I can even queue the second blog?

  Thanks for checking.

  Your import is still queued, so we’re still waiting. At this point we’re unable to give an estimate on how long it might take to catch up with the backlog, though – it’s taking longer than anticipated, but the importer is running and will hopefully get to your site soon.

  You’ll only be able to start a second import once the first has completed. Or you can create a second WordPress.com site in your account and start an import for your other Tumblr there.
