Message

Send me a message if:

You've searched for an answer first (using my FAQ, search bar on my blog, Google).
You've checked the theme preview for notes and known bugs.
You've checked the top of the code for notes.
You have a comment/suggestion about my themes/work.
You have a question about commissions.

DON'T message me if:

You HAVEN'T searched for an answer first or checked for any notes.
You have a question about customizing the theme (I just don't have the time, sorry!)
You're asking about generic Tumblr things. I don't work for Tumblr. Try Googling instead.

Theme FAQ
Click on a question to reveal the answer.

How do I install/update a theme?

Click here for a pretty nice tutorial on how to install tumblr themes and here for a tutorial for page themes. Updates are done the exact way, just replace the code with the new one from the theme preview page.

The theme isn’t showing up properly?

Keep in mind that the theme might not show up correctly on the page you edit your theme on, especially some things like fonts and some parts may overlap. Check your actual blog instead. If that doesn’t work, try installing one of the default tumblr themes, refresh the page, and install the theme again. If that still doesn't work, send me a link and I'll check it out.

How do I customize things (images, fonts, colours, etc.) on the theme?

On the page before the one you copy the code into, where you can change your blog name and description and such, there is a bunch of options you can customize. This will change from theme to theme but I suggest looking through it before you ask how you change something.
Some themes might have things that you have to go into the code to edit. Check the notes at the top of the code (if there are any) to see how to do it.

How do I format the description or other parts of the theme?

If you check out the description on the theme preview, there might be a few things listed that you can do with it. For other things (like bold text, italic text, or other fancy stuff), I suggest looking up some basic HTML. Click here for a little cheat sheet on it. Also, some themes may have specific instructions on either the theme preview or the top of the code. Please check those!

Help me modify a theme?

I'm sorry but unless it's very specific to the theme, I don't help with theme modifications. I suggest you look up some basics on HTML and possibly even CSS. Usually a quick search on google can help you with whatever you're looking for. And no worries, you don't have to ask to modify a theme, go right ahead!

Looking to change font sizes? Click here.

My posts aren't showing up anywhere?

Check if the theme you're using is either a blog theme or a page theme. It should say so at the top of the code. Blog themes are meant for your whole blog but page themes are meant to be for separate pages on your blog so they won't show any posts on them.

My post images aren't showing / being duplicated?

First make sure that you only have one post size (500px/400px/250px) selected. Toggle all these options on and off and then select the one you want. If this still doesn't help, try turning off the "lazy load images" option.

My asks/messages aren't working?

Make sure you have your asks enabled! Some people forget to do this with sideblogs and such so make sure you have that enabled.

You haven't replied to my message?

I try to answer all messages and usually will do so within 24 hours. Please be patient! Also Tumblr does tend to eat messages a lot. If you're gonna send links then I suggest you do that through messaging, since Tumblr seems to eat those asks the most. Also I may decide not to reply to questions that are clearly answered here. I get a lot of anon messages asking the same questions I answer all the time.

I have infinite scroll on and...

Okay so here's the thing about infinite scroll. It may be a really nice feature to have but it really slows down browsers and can break a lot of things. I didn't write the script either so there's not much I can do if it does break. If something on your theme isn't working, try switching infinite scroll off. I don't recommend using it so please note that if infinite scrolling is breaking your theme, I may not be able to help you with that, sorry about this!

Some thing doesn’t work.

Check all these first:

I’ll put updates and things I already know I gotta fix up on the theme preview. If you’re using an older version of the code, it’s probably a good idea to update.
I usually put details on customization either on the theme preview or near the top of the code. Please check those.
I keep a tag of questions I already answered. Might be a good idea to skim through a bit. Click. There's also a bunch more in the dropdown menus below.

Use the search bar too! Your question could've been answered before.

If I feel your question would benefit others, I'll post it publicly. Let me know if you for sure want your question asked privately! And I probably won't answer questions that have answers clearly stated above (to avoid spamming).

Feel free to contact me on Discord if you prefer that! Jaebirds #5329

Themes

Requests/Commissions

Please check the sidebar on the right to see if these are open or not. Click here to see commissions I’ve done previously!

To get some more practice and to allow those who don’t know how to code but want to design their own theme, I decided to open up requests. These will be completely free of cost. Commissions are top priority and the cost will depend on how advanced the theme is.

As a general idea of the prices, I've usually been charging between $15 and $35 USD. $15 being a simple theme or some small modifications to an existing theme and $35 being more complex with lots of interactions/animations. If you have a budget or limit you'd like to set, let me know and we can work around it!

Here are some things you can send / I recommend you send:

Some kind of drawing or diagram
Any pictures you might want to use (to make sure they fit well)
A colour scheme
Any other details or features you may want
- Be as descriptive as possible! I need to know what you want so I can make the theme

Just a reminder that:

After your theme is finished I won't be doing any further modifications to it for free. With the exception of it having major issues of course.

I suggest you use messaging since it’s easier to send links. If I need any more information, I’ll let you know.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

menaceexpress asks:

hello! i just switched my blog to theme 17. i love it a lot!! it has so many customizable options!! i'm having trouble with a video bug though -- some videos don't format correctly and pile at the top of the page (see my blog's /tagged/vid). i don't know if it's something with me or with the theme. i understand you aren't super active on here/aren't working a lot on themes, so i understand if this ends up being a bigger fix than the time you want to put in! thanks for your hard work!

Hi, I put out a fix for this, should help!

Anonymous asks:

Hi I was jw if it's possible to change the comics tag list so the categories are closed at first so you have to manually open the one you wanna see?

Yup, that’s possible!

Just gotta look for this line for each category:

<div class=“listcont”>

And replace it with this:

<div class=“listcont listcontclosed”>

Hi guys, another quick update.

I know I’ve been absolutely terrible at replying to messages, if you sent me something and I haven’t answered it, feel free to send it again. I don’t spend time on Tumblr anymore unless its to do something for this blog basically so it might’ve just gotten lost.

I removed all the click-through ad links to get to the code. Since I’ve been bad with replies, some people who can’t get to the code don’t really get to the themes, so that’s just been removed now.

I’m going to keep commissions open, but because I don’t have much time at all, I might have to be super picky about what I choose, or charge a lot more than I usually do. Sorry about this!

If you’re interested in finding me elsewhere, I’m trying to become a full-time streamer on Twitch, and my Twitter is basically a meme mine at this point. Or if you’d rather keep spending your time on Tumblr, I have blogs for my art and stream clips that I try to keep updated from time to time.

Hope you all have a happy holidays and a merry new year!

The HTTPS save issue should be fixed on all themes now! Let me know if that’s not the case.

Anonymous asks:

Can you put set up a theme on mobile or would I have to use a computer?

As far as I know, you can’t set up a theme on mobile. Unless you can get to the desktop site somehow, but I tried it real quick and it wouldn’t let me.

enharmonics asks:

I absolutely adore Theme #18 (pokemon) and would love to use it, but am unable because of the whole 'non-HTTPS' thing tumblr's doing. I understand it may be a difficult one to fix, and I don't know if it's been requested already, but do you plan to update it in the future?

Put out a fix now!

vermofftiss asks:

Hi there! I'm sorry to have to bother you with another question on theme 17, but I've done as much as I can with no luck. Uploaded images are getting cut off partway down and when I have more than one image in a post they're smushed together. Sometimes if I played with the post's html the picture would appear properly, but that's not working anymore. Thanks for your time <3

Hi, just put out a fix for it, including a fix for the HTTPS save issue!
