  I’m sure everyone is tired of seeing Tumblr imports not going after 24 hours but I’ve tried two different times and both times processed for more than 24 hours. My blog is https://totalfreakingloser.tumblr.com/ I understand there’s been a lot more traffic since Tumblr is about to hit the self destruct button so I just wanted to make sure all my stuff would transfer before that happened. Thanks.

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

  Hello there!

  There is currently unusually high volumes of Tumblr imports, leading to some delays.

  From staff:

  If you’re trying to import your Tumblr blog to WordPress.com and it looks like the import isn’t working, please be patient and keep your connection from Tumblr. Do not try to cancel your import.

  Please note that imports are being queued on the servers and will be completed in the order that they were started.

  This is the most recent update:

  At this point, we are unable to provide an estimate on how long it might take for queued imports to complete. Our importer is processing thousands of posts a minute, but the backlog is very big so please be patient – it might be a few days before your import will start once it’s queued.

  You can also add the tags modlook and tumblr import to have a member of staff reset your import if you believe it is stalled.

  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.

  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.

  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.
