WordPress won't publicize to my Tumblr account.
-
Hello there,
I have set up WordPress to publicize to FB, Twitter etc., but for some reason it won’t work with Tumblr. I do get the WP window that says I have successfully connected to Tumblr, however in the list on the sharing page (next to FB, G+ etc. icons) where it says “connected as…username”, my username is listed for tumblr, but it doesn’t say “connected as”, as it does for sharing with the other sites. Please help! Thanks so much.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Have your tried disconnecting and then reconnecting? http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#tumblr

Hi there,
I have tested the connection to Tumblr on my end, and it appears to be working great. Can you try disconnecting (and reconnecting) to see if that clears up your issue?
Thanks!

Hey Jerry – Thanks for getting back to me. I’ve tried (and just re-tried) disconnecting and connecting a few times now. I still can’t Publicize to Tumblr, but have no problems Publicizing to Twitter, G+ or Facebook. I have no idea how to fix this:( I tried again with a couple of posts today, to no avail.
Thanks for looking into this!

Can you tell me what the URLs for your social media accounts are (the ones that are not working for you) so that I can take a closer look at those?
Thanks!

Sure thanks Jerry. These are the two that aren’t working:

Yeah sure – you’re right, I’m sorry – but my WP still isn’t posting my last two posts to it or to my two G+ accounts.
Thanks Raincoaster for looking into this, I really appreciate it. -
@checkthatattitude – thanks for clarifying. I took a look at both of those connections and they both tested fine. Can you try disconnecting (and reconnecting) both of your G+ connections to see if that clears up your issue?
If your next post does not go through as planned, I an happy to take a closer look.
Thanks!

Hi Jerry,
Tonight I did as you suggested (with two new posts) and that fixed the problem with the two g+ accounts, however Publicize still won’t publish to my Tumblr account.
Thank you for your diligence.

We just rolled out a fix for a few Publicize connection issues that are similar to the ones that you are having, so it is possible that your shares went out before that code change.
Can you reconnect to Tumblr (I removed the previous connection) and let me know if things start publicizing to that service as expected?
Thanks for your patience!

Hello.
I’ve been having a few issues with Tumblr recently, too. The connection is fine, but for some reason, instead of posting the image (I run an art blog of sorts) plus a snippet with a link that all shows up on people’s dashboards, what happens instead is that the post registers as a “Text” type of post, and posts the my image twice, in a threaded way… so basically this results in two, threaded, ugly gray boxes on Tumblr (the same image posted twice in the same post), and people have to click said boxes before they actually see the image. T__T (… did all that make sense…?)
I haven’t really done anything different, and I was just posting as usual, and it used to work fine.
I have no idea if this issue is connected with OP’s. I apologize in advance if this is way off-topic. T_T

Hi Jerry – I’ll reconnect before my next post and let you know. thanks again. And good luck to you ksolaris!
