Tumblr Import Not Working

  • Unknown's avatar

    I started an import yesterday early and no progress has been made. I’m sure it’s just the traffic, but the instructions said to let you know once it hit 24 hours. So here is my it’s been 24 hours notice.

  • Hi there,

    I’ve double checked to confirm your import is still queued. It didn’t cancel. But please do reconnect to your Tumblr account if you’ve disconnected it, as that could be preventing it from starting.

    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 I’m not able to give an estimate on how long it might take to catch up with the backlog, though.

    No worries. I’m sure the demand at the moment is through the roof. I didn’t disconnect–the instructions said not to. Any advice as to when I should assume it’s really and truly crashed? A week?
    Thanks!

  • 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.

    It shows a failure message on our end if it has indeed crashed, so please feel free to comment here every couple of days to ask us to check if anything has changed. We have successfully completed several thousand imports so far, though, and many more have completed than have failed, so aside from it taking long, everything is working :)
