Imports a Tumblr blog into a WordPress blog.
As many other reviewers have pointed out, this plugin imports a single-image post and puts the image in a gallery. That is pretty much useless.
I just installed this on my local XAMPP box to backup my blogs before the Tumblrpocalypse, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it still works flawlessly for text and image posts (which is all I have on my blogs)…photographers rejoice!
This gave me oauth errors when adding my site. What I did was edited the code to replace all http://tumblr.com with HTTPS.
However, when imported, its not really importing stuff properly. So there’s that…
Doesn’t import video, or even hotlink to it – caption is imported but not the video.
Images in text posts are hotlinked and not copied to media.
Works OK for text posts, but that’s not really what I need it for.
This plugin does not seem to import posts. It continually hangs even after clearing account information and trying again. Would really appreciate an update.
Thanks!
