I’m looking for a plugin that will
- Pull the Tumblr feed format.
- Parse into WP importable xml.
- Create new WP posts for new Tumblr items.
What I’ve found so far are Tumblr exporters/WP importers, javascript to embed tumblr, Ping.fm, other miscellaneous useless plugins. I’m not moving platforms so I want something that will pull out the new Tumblr items and post them here.
Do I need to code this or has it already been solved? (I admit my search for a solution was pretty feeble).
Advice appreciated!
Nice comments at http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1644889/20100802… Chris.
I'm looking for similar solution.
Thanks.
And you're not the only one who has contacted me about the Tumblr function. I don't think it exists so I'll whip up a plugin this weekend or so..
let us know!
Chris, Did you ever wind up making this utility?
No, but I have done some XML->RSS->Tumblr work and found out how brittle Tumblr is.. I'll work on this when I get time and post about it.
I've got a standard RSS that i am trying to pull into Tumblr but it just doesn't want to post anything that is contained with in the RSS. I think I have discovered what you mean by "brittle". Is any of this documented anywhere?
Yes. In the end I had to contact Tumblr and have them take a look. They told me my feed was fine and they had to reimport it from their side to get it to work. No documentation.
