  Hi,

  I am trying to import my primary tumblr blog to WordPress so that I clean out all old posts, and move them to a private secondary blog. I am doing all of this mobily, and I cannot find the ‘Tools’ drop menu to access the ‘import’ option. Where can this tab be located through mobile site? I’ve attempted switching from mobile version to desktop version, but to no avail. Also, I am aware that WordPress only allows you to import 70 posts a day. Is this a fixed amount for all blog types (I.e free or paid)? I have approx 11,000 posts I want to clean out, and that’s going to take me about 5 months to import. Is there an easier alternative?

  Thanks,
  tempacount

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

  I appreciate your quick response! That internal link worked like a charm. I am also grateful for the extra advice/tips. I have added “Modlook” to the tabs for the second part of this question. However, the imported content currently “in progress” has exceeded 70 posts.

  Thanks so much!!

  Is the site you exported from still online?

  If it is then what is the URL please?

  Has 24 hours passed since you tried to import?

  Sometimes the importer gets stuck. If the file is large you may have to import Posts, Pages, etc. in separate files. Or if the file is very large Staff may have to do the import.

  Howdy :)

  Also, I am aware that WordPress only allows you to import 70 posts a day.

  Hmm, can you let me know where you’re finding that information?

  I have since realized that this is not the case. Looks like I misread the OP’s statement. They were actually referring to Tumblr’s post limitations which is said to be 70-75. Sorry about that! Lol

  No worries! I hadn’t heard of that and wanted to be sure to correct it! :) Are you all set for now?

  Actually, I’ve hit another snag! All of my posts and drafts have been imported, but I recieved this notification (see link below).

  We’re all of my posts successfully transferred or will I have to upgrade my account to access them all? I’m about to begin the tedious process of cleaning/prepping for export and coding.

  Thanks!

  @tempacount I’m not sure whether all of the media would have made it. Go ahead and upgrade if you’re willing, then we can try to backfill anything that’s missing.
