Adding Tumblr to Wordpress involves several steps. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
== Why Add Tumblr to WordPress? ==


1. First, you need to create a Tumblr account if you don't already have one. Go to the Tumblr homepage (tumblr.com) and click on the "Sign up" button to create an account.
There are a few key reasons to integrate Tumblr with WordPress:


2. Once you have a Tumblr account, go to your Wordpress dashboard and install a plugin called "Tumblr Importer." You can find this plugin by going to the "Plugins" section and clicking on "Add New." Search for "Tumblr Importer" and click on "Install Now."
- Cross-promote content between platforms
- Expand your audience reach
- Repurpose Tumblr content on your WordPress site
- Create a central hub for all your content
- Improve SEO by linking between platforms


3. After the plugin is installed, activate it. You can do this by clicking on the "Activate" button that appears after the plugin is installed.
== Methods to Add Tumblr to WordPress ==


4. Now, go to the "Tools" section in your Wordpress dashboard and click on "Import." You will see an option to import from Tumblr. Click on this option.
There are several ways to add Tumblr content to WordPress:


5. You will now be prompted to enter your Tumblr credentials (email and password). Enter these and click on "Connect."
=== 1. Import Tumblr Posts to WordPress ===


6. Next, you'll be asked to grant permission for the Wordpress plugin to access your Tumblr account. Click on "Allow."
This method involves importing your entire Tumblr blog into WordPress as posts.


7. Once you've granted permission, you'll be taken back to the Wordpress dashboard. You'll see a list of your Tumblr posts. You can choose which posts you want to import by selecting the checkboxes next to each post.
Steps:
1. Install and activate the Tumblr Importer plugin in WordPress
2. Go to Tools > Import in WordPress admin
3. Click "Install Now" under Tumblr
4. Run the importer and connect to your Tumblr account
5. Select which Tumblr blog to import
6. The importer will bring in all your Tumblr posts as WordPress posts


8. After you've selected the posts you want to import, click on "Import." The plugin will then start importing your Tumblr posts into your Wordpress site.
Pros:
- Imports all content at once
- Posts become native WordPress content


9. When the import process is complete, you can go to your Wordpress dashboard and see your imported Tumblr posts under the "Posts" section.
Cons: 
- One-time import, doesn't stay synced
- May require cleanup/formatting after import


That's it! You've successfully added Tumblr to Wordpress using the Tumblr Importer plugin.
=== 2. Embed Individual Tumblr Posts ===
 
You can embed specific Tumblr posts into WordPress pages/posts.
 
Steps:
1. Find the Tumblr post you want to embed
2. Copy the post URL
3. Paste the URL on its own line in the WordPress editor
4. WordPress will automatically embed the Tumblr post
 
Pros:
- Easy to embed specific posts
- Maintains original Tumblr formatting
 
Cons:
- Manual process for each post
- Not automated
 
=== 3. Use a Tumblr Feed Plugin ===
 
Plugins like Tumblr Widget or EmbedPress allow you to display a feed of your latest Tumblr posts.
 
Steps:
1. Install a Tumblr feed plugin
2. Connect the plugin to your Tumblr account
3. Use a shortcode or widget to display the feed on your site
 
Pros:
- Automatically shows latest posts
- Customizable display options
 
Cons:
- Relies on third-party plugin
- Limited to feed display format
 
=== 4. Auto-Post from WordPress to Tumblr ===
 
Instead of bringing Tumblr content to WordPress, you can push WordPress content to Tumblr.
 
Steps:
1. Install a plugin like FS Poster or NextScripts
2. Connect your Tumblr account in the plugin settings
3. Enable auto-posting for new WordPress posts
 
Pros:
- Automatically shares WordPress content to Tumblr
- Saves time on cross-posting
 
Cons:
- Doesn't bring Tumblr content into WordPress
- May require paid plugin
 
=== 5. Use Zapier or IFTTT ===
 
These automation tools can create workflows to sync content between WordPress and Tumblr.
 
Steps:
1. Set up an account with Zapier or IFTTT
2. Create a "Zap" or applet to connect WordPress and Tumblr
3. Configure triggers and actions (e.g. new WP post creates Tumblr post)
 
Pros:
- Highly customizable automations
- Can sync both ways between platforms
 
Cons:
- May require paid plans for advanced features
- Can be complex to set up
 
== Best Practices ==
 
- Choose the method that best fits your needs and technical skills
- Test the integration on a staging site first
- Be mindful of copyright when sharing content between platforms
- Maintain consistent branding across both Tumblr and WordPress
- Use rel="canonical" tags to avoid duplicate content issues
- Monitor the integration regularly to ensure it's working properly
 
== Conclusion ==
 
Adding Tumblr to WordPress can be a great way to expand your content reach and create synergy between platforms. Whether you choose to import posts, embed content, use a feed plugin, or set up cross-posting, there are multiple options to fit different needs. Consider your goals, technical capabilities, and content strategy when deciding how to best integrate Tumblr with your WordPress site.
