Migrating content from Tumblr to WordPress is a lot easier since the importing plugin was developed, but many users are still having a hard time switching over. Most of the problems arise when moving from a custom Tumblr domain to WordPress.
The solution to this problem isn’t readily apparent, but is quite simple.
If you have a Tumblr blog on a custom domain (example, www.yourdomain.com), you have to uncheck the custom domain feature in your Tumblr admin section before migrating your content to WordPress.
After you uncheck this option, your Tumblr blog address will revert back to the original URL (example, http://yourblog.tumblr.com) and will now be able to be imported into your new WordPress blog.

To say my experience with Rob at Blog Movers was positive would be an understatement! I was very nervous about transitioning my blog from Tumblr to a custom built WordPress site, and Rob patiently walked me through each step, painstakingly answered all the questions I had in a very time sensitive fashion, and has been there as a source of support for some tweaks I've wanted to make after the move. I also paid a fair price and never felt as though I was being taken advantage of, despite my limited technical knowledge. I would highly recommend Rob and the Blog Movers team as highly professional, responsive, thorough and fast!
