This plugin automates the process of moving an entire Tumblr blog to a self-hosted content management system. It is designed for users who want to migrate their content away from Tumblr while preserving their posts, media, and structure. The tool runs in the background, allowing you to continue other tasks while the import proceeds.

• Background Importing: Start the import process and leave it to run. You can check back later to see the progress without needing to keep the browser window open.
• Duplicate Checking: The system identifies posts that have already been transferred and will not create duplicate entries in your new site's database.
• Post and Media Handling: It imports published posts, drafts, and pages. For media posts (images, audio, custom video), it can sideload the files to your server.
• Post Format Support: The importer attempts to correctly map Tumblr's post types, such as multi-image posts, to appropriate formats on the destination platform.
• Extended Compatibility: The plugin includes community-developed translations and is built to work with a wide range of site versions, though users should note that support for some specific media types may vary based on reviews.
