n you help please.
Thank you,
Hi,
I have successfully pointed my domain (RussWrites.com) away from my Tumblr and it’s now on my WP site. I waited 24hrs.

However, when I use the import tool to grab my tumblr posts, it won’t do it as it says it has a custom domain, and it doesn’t.

Can you help, please,
Thank you
Russell

Hi @therusswriter, can you remove the custom domain from tumblr (in their dash) and try again? If that doesn’t work, can you reach out here?

Thank you. Yes, Custom domain is disabled in Tumblr and RussWrites.com successfully now points to my new WordPress. I have contacted their support as I don’t know what to do. Thank you for replying

I’m having the exact same issue despite my custom domain having been removed from my tumblr for over a week. Did you ever find a solution to this issue and get your content imported?

If you’re getting the custom domain error even after switching off the domain on Tumblr’s end, disconnect in the importer, go to the Apps section in Tumblr settings and remove WordPress there: https://www.tumblr.com/settings/apps

Then reconnect from our end and restart the import.

Let us know if it still won’t work.

@caddington11, if that doesn’t work for you, we’ll also need to know your WordPress.com site’s address that you’re trying to import to.
