Hello! I’m trying to import the content from my Tumblr (thesimsblues.tumblr.com) to my WordPress blog. However, it’s been stuck in the loading stage for days, with no signs of more posts being added over time. How can I get it to work?

Thank you!

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

Hello there,

Many thanks for reaching out.

It looks like that import may have stalled – I’ve just cleared that for you, so may I ask you to reattempt that import please.

Many thanks in advance.

Thank you for your quick response! I went to start a second import, but it’s telling me that I can only run one import at a time. I have no other imports running.

Hi there,

What is the URL of your Tumblr site so we can take a closer look? How many posts do you have on your site over there and how much of it are you missing on this end?

The URL for my Tumblr is http://thesimsblues.tumblr.com, and it has around 2.6k posts.

With the reset done by aleone88, it lists that no posts have been imported in. When the import initially stalled, it had only imported 12 posts.

Thanks for the update!

I’m showing that there’s 162 posts that had been imported as of right now. Can you take a look at those posts and give us an idea (like a specific date range) that you might be missing?

I’ve also removed the import job that seems to have been stuck so could you try to initiate the import again? Here’s our support doc on the importer in case you have any questions:

Let us know how that goes and we’ll investigate further if needed. Thanks!

Hi there! The range of posts that have not been uploaded are from May 20, 2019 – February 12, 2021. Though my blog started earlier than May 20, 2019, I manually uploaded the posts I wanted up until that point.

The posts after February 12, 2021 were from my attempts to import the whole Tumblr.

I’ve started the import again–I’ll respond again if it seems to be stuck again.

Thank you for your help!

That’s great to hear! Guess we just needed to give it a little nudge to get it rolling again. :D

We’ll mark this resolved for now!
