Is there a way to place your tumblr photos as a slideshow using wordpress.COM widgets?

Thanks in advance,

I'm trying to use Blurb's BookSmart to make a book, and their wordpress importer doesn't handle galleries at all. So if the images were in-line everything would work great.

Is it hard to add a check-box or something to the wordpress.com tumblr importer?

With fingers crossed!

I'm new to wordpress, and I'm trying to figure everything out from reading through all of the training guides online etc.

In any case, I managed to upload my tumblr blog to my domain site: http://christine-lew.com, BUT the major issue is that the importer only uploaded SIX months worth of posts from tumblr (June 2012-now). How come the importer didn't upload the older content? I started my tumblr blog on New Year's 2012, so it's only six more months worth of data.

How can I get the older content on my wordpress site? I want to make sure all of those posts get archived.

Thanks!

It's possible that image handling has changed in the plugin since the update. For example, Tumblr now gives us the data in a different format, and we may have dropped the single-image case.

The best way to report this is via the .org plugin support area here. As I'm one of the developers, I'll see the request, but it also won't be limited to me, and maybe a fix will land sooner. I can see your point regarding single image posts, and I'd like to look into it for the .org importer, but there are lots of other things prioritized above it right now. Still, please do report it over at the .org site. Thanks!

Now when importing the image shown in the post is a thumbnail. when the thumbnail is clicked it links to the attachment page, and then click the picture again to view the full original size. I understand that this would be effective for actual galleries but for single image posts it's just messy and inefficient. I wasn't using a plugin before the update if that's what you are suggesting. Thanks for your help, at any rate

So I'm not sure what difference has appeared here. At any rate, I think the core importer will probably continue to insert galleries unless there's a great demand for some change. It's written such that a plugin could alter the behavior too, if I recall correctly.

What I meant to say is that instead of embedding the full-size image, it displays a thumbnail. I click the image, and it takes me to the post (where the thumb is displayed) and then I click the image again and this time it shows the full thing. The old importer just replicated the original post with the original size of the image...Anyway, thanks for your help!

The updated plugin works great! The only issue I can tell is that images are made in to galleries when they post. This happens even if it's just a single image...is there anyway to change that?

I'm hoping to find some time to see if I can lend a hand, but it's lower priority for the moment than some other things.

As a stopgap, you could try importing into a wordpress.com blog, then exporting from there and importing to your .org.

Thanks for re-enabling the tumblr import. One problem I found running an import today is that tumblr 'Link' posts only seem to import the 'Title' and 'URL' elements. The optional tumblr 'Description' field isn't imported, which means those import items are missing any descriptive text.

Same thing applies to import of 'Gallery' posts - the optional 'Caption' field is missing.

Is that something that can be addressed?
