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!

As others mentioned, it works ok for text but does not handle media posts well. Plugin has not been updated in over 2 years and developer doesn't respond to support. AVOID!

0.2
- The audio, video, and image formats no longer use the caption for the titles. Tumblr seems to facilitate putting all sorts of crazy stuff into the caption fields as part of their reblogging system. So instead, these types of posts will have no titles at all. Sorry, but Tumblr simply doesn’t have any sort of title fields here to work with, and no data that can be used to ”create“ a title for them.
- Minor debug error cleanup.
- Sideloading now done on drafts and pages as well.
0.1
- First version, not meant to be used except for testing.
