Quick answer
Does Tumblr have RSS?

https://[blog].tumblr.com/rss- Key limitation
- Custom-domain configurations vary. Some block the /rss endpoint at the CDN layer
Context
What this means for Tumblr
Tumblr has supported RSS since 2007 and has kept the /rss path stable through ownership changes. Standard subdomain blogs expose the feed directly. Custom-domain blogs usually do too, because the RSS endpoint is served from Tumblr's backend regardless of the public hostname. Tumblr does not expose a /feed path, only /rss.
- Feed URL format
https://[blog].tumblr.com/rss- Working example
https://staff.tumblr.com/rss
Supported patterns
- Tumblr subdomain blogs ([blog].tumblr.com/rss)
- Most custom-domain Tumblr blogs (same /rss path)
- Tag-specific feeds (/tagged/[tag]/rss)
Limitations
- Custom-domain configurations vary. Some block the /rss endpoint at the CDN layer
- Media-heavy posts (photo sets, GIFs) may need template tuning to render well
- Reblogs appear in the feed and can make the feed feel low-signal without filtering
- NSFW content is blurred or hidden in public feeds, matching the site's policies

Gotchas
Common mistakes
- Watch for this: Using /feed instead of /rss, Tumblr only responds to /rss
- Watch for this: Expecting the feed to include only original posts, reblogs come through by default
- Watch for this: Assuming audio and video posts render in RSS, they do, but as media enclosures, which not every WordPress theme handles

FAQ
Tumblr RSS questions
What is the Tumblr RSS feed URL?
Most Tumblr blogs expose RSS at https://[blog].tumblr.com/rss. Custom-domain Tumblr blogs usually support the same /rss path.
How do I get an RSS feed for a specific Tumblr tag?
Add /rss after the tag URL: https://[blog].tumblr.com/tagged/[tag]/rss. This returns only the posts tagged with that term.
Does Tumblr RSS include reblogs?
Yes. Reblogs are part of the feed because Tumblr treats them as posts. Filter them out in Aggregator if you only want original content.
Can Tumblr feeds be imported into WordPress?
Yes, if the RSS URL is public and the source allows automated access. Pick a display template that handles images and media well.
Why does my Tumblr RSS feed look empty?
Some custom-domain Tumblrs block the /rss endpoint at the CDN. In that case, try the canonical [blog].tumblr.com/rss URL instead of the custom domain.
