  They’re completely incompatible systems. Tumblr was always more of a microblog while WordPress is basically a CMS, at this point. The only way to get those two to talk would be to federate, now that I think about it.

    Why are you comparing them as if they’re equivalent?? Wordpress is being used as a backend for tumblr

      I didn’t know. I’m used to the version you self-host, not whatever the service is using.

    Sorry, I mean why even call it Tumblr if it’s just WordPress at this point?

  It’s because tumblr is owned by the company of one of the original wordpress creators.
