  Thanks for re-enabling the tumblr import. One problem I found running an import today is that tumblr ‘Link’ posts only seem to import the ‘Title’ and ‘URL’ elements. The optional tumblr ‘Description’ field isn’t imported, which means those import items are missing any descriptive text.

  Same thing applies to import of ‘Gallery’ posts – the optional ‘Caption’ field is missing.

  Is that something that can be addressed?

  thanks.
