Oh that’s brilliant. Thanks! I’ll give that a shot soon.

Yes, I’ve done that as well as switching my permalinks to one of the standard options in testing. It’s what led me to suspect this isn’t a theme issue. I’m using a standard feature of the WordPress core to display my posts on a specific blank page, as you can set under Settings > Reading. I’ve edited my original post to make that clearer in case it’s a factor.

Pretty sure this isn’t a theme issue, it seems like a permalink issue, no?

For what it’s worth: I’ve been talking to Tumblr support as well and they’re up for being contacted if they can help at all: [email protected].

So it looks like the operation finally worked. Though, if you’re taking feedback on how the importer performs, post media and formats weren’t preserved very well. Example:

No media was downloaded and imported or apparently even linked (though, depending on when you read this, I might have fixed that. I plan to do it all manually one of these nights soon because I need to complete this move sooner than later). All images appear to be broken. Link posts are also formatted very strangely. I’m using a theme from WooThemes that supports post formats, but check out this link post:

https://finerthings.in/mac/2011/11/10/12599487226/

The headline is not actually linked to the external site, but the first line of the post is “Link: [headline of the post]” and _that_’s linked.

Thanks for following up on this by the way.

Bump.

I’m having a little bit of trouble with this myself. WordPress is installed in the root of my directory. In the Settings > General pane, both my WordPress and Blog URLs are set to the domain (no /blog), and under Settings > Reading I have the Front Page set to be my latest posts.

I do not have a Blog page created, but I can’t seem to create one that actually lists my posts using this tip to do so. I’m using a specialized theme from ElegantThemes (Lumin to be exact: https://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/lumin/). But when I create a Blog page, then assign it for my posts under Settings > Reading, it displays nothing. I’ve cleared my browser cache and even WP Cache, but it’s still just a blank page.

Is there another step to the process?

Bump?

Update: Looks like Brandon, the developer, is aware of the problem, and is asking affected users for some details and feedback to help fix it:
