Move Tumblr from one account to another

  1. Will all of the people I’m following on my old account still be there in the new one?

    1. Secondary blogs can not follow other blogs. If your original primary blog is being kept, then yes, everyone you follow from the primary blog will still be in your follow list. If you’re making a NEW primary blog, and moving the secondary blog over, then you’d have to follow any/everyone from your NEW primary blog.

  2. Thank you – nice idea – but then the secondary blog on the new account is still a secondary blog. How to make it a primary ?

    Thanks

    1. You can’t make a secondary blog a primary blog. You can change URLs/move URLs from secondary blogs to primary blogs but the content that was previously reblogged/posted will not change.

  4. So this really only works to transfer a secondary account as a secondary under another new account, because you can’t open a Tumblr account without choosing a username, which then automatically defaults to the primary. Is this correct, because I don’t see that in the screen shots that are posted.

    1. Correct, you can only transfer the secondary account from one primary account to another primary account. There is no way to change a secondary account to a primary account. If you want the URL from the secondary account on your primary account, you can switch them. But the content will stay on each respective blog.

  5. I want to do this, but I’m scared because the Admin. blog that I have including the secondary blog is filled with posts I don’t wanna loose. So what happens to the first Admin blog? All I want is to move my secondary blog to another account, but like leave the Admin blog as it is. Is that possible???

    1. When you move a secondary blog from one primary blog to another (and leave the secondary blog from the FIRST primary after promoting the SECOND primary) the original (first primary) blog stays exactly the way it is. It does not get deleted.

      1. But will the post also transfer to the new blog, even if the other one stays the same??
