reblog the theme post
reblogging posts is crucial for content creators on tumblr, it's how others can be introduced to us & see our work plus it helps motivate us to create more :) even if you're not using a theme, reblogs are always appreciated!
do not touch the credit
this includes moving it, changing/editing it, etc. just don't touch it please. in some of my themes the credit's in multiple places - don't touch any of them. if you want to change the fill of my credit icon or update the link (demontimes ā phantomcodes) that's fine!
do not make major changes
small edits are fine as long as the original design is recognizable and the credit is untouched. send me an ask if you're unsure about a customization you wanna make.
do not claim as your own or redistribute
do not copy pieces of my codes for use anywhere else whether it's my other codes or another theme maker's codes. none of my themes are base codes, do not use them to make your own theme.
support me if you can!
enjoying my themes? there are many ways you can support me whether it's by reblogging my posts, leaving a tip, and/or making donations!
terms of use ā by using my themes you agree to the following:

hi sage, me again. still using ur wonderful poppy theme and everything seems to be fine except that recently, even though i have tags on 'on click' they still show without clicking the icon. it may just be my laptop being annoying, but is it happening for you? and if so, how do i fix this?
hi! my popups stopped working few days ago cause of a jquery issue, you can replace the jquery line or redownload the code! please see this post

hi, me again. regarding how i make the gradient text in my posts, i copy/paste the code in html mode and i either go into the preview -> select the text and apply bold or change back to rich text and edit my text. i should stick w/ html mode by directly editing the code, right? (for i.e. if i want bold gradient text, adding <b><b/>) so it doesn’t get messed up
hi sorry it took me a min to get back to you but i tested this out it seems adding <b></b> around the <span></span> in the html doesn’t work, you have to add it inside the <span>
however when i selected the text and clicked bold in the rich text that also works (and is a lot easier lol)
*update: literally right after i posted this i realized bolding in the rich text sometimes doesn’t work smdh but overall in the html <b></b> needs to be wrapped inside <span></span>

hi, i'm using your absolutely gorgeous poppy theme and for some reason my reblogged posts look like this. what do i do?
hi tysm for using my code! i just checked ur blog and the posts look normal to me, however some posts will appear that way in the customize preview. not sure if this ss is from the customize menu but it should look how itās supposed to on the actual blog once you save/exit!
for reference this is how it appears for me:

Hi i'm so sorry to reach out again immediately after, I was updating a link on the blog and figured out how to change the colours myself. If you have issue with me changing colours let me know, i'm happy to go via official channels etc to update them, but otherwise feel free to ignore my original ask. Thank you so much. I'm sorry that i am an idiot.
hi no worries you’re good! the colors can all be changed in the customize panel so you don’t have to do anything in the code! if you meant making more specific edits like changing the gradient direction etc. that’s also fine you’re more than welcome to change the colors :)

hi! hope you're doing well. i'm using your amethyst theme and for some reason when i add blogs in the blogs section of the explore page tab, the blog icons aren't popping up the way they do on the static preview, i haven't touched the code at all and i checked your faq and answered asks and didn't see anyone ask about it before. am i supposed to be doing something additional so the icons pop up?
hi! make sure ur just putting the blog name - example img below

Hi Sage, thank you for your themes! I bought Kyoshi on Dec 29, and followed setup and troubleshooting instructions, but somehow my blog no longer opens up? (As in, there is no link to open my blog from the dashboard, and typing my URL just defaults to the dashboard version.) As far as I'm aware, I'm not getting a Javascript error, and I didn't touch the code. Did I overlook something?
hey! i think tumblr changed this a little while ago, go into āedit appearanceā on the dash and make sure this is toggled on

hi! i want to use your rosemary theme, but what do we have to edit to use the links on the explore menu? i'm confused bc i can't find it, what do we have to do?
hi, write your links like this: <a href=“linkurl”>link name</a>
put them in the explore links field in the customize panel (photo example below the cut)

will all the pages you're releasing to go with the seashell theme be free even though the theme itself is paid (like the seafoam theme vs the seafoam about page)?
yes! in general all of my pages are free (as of the time of this ask), premium pages will have the price indicated!

Hi I am kind of new to installing themes. I just purchased the Flora theme and I love the way it's set up already but once I installed the theme the icons were gone and a few other things.
hi, some links/elements/etc. will not show up if there’s nothing entered in their fields, similarly if you have your ask box/submit box turned off those links will not show up
this is a general answer and applies to all of my themes, i’m not sure which icons/things you’re specifically referring to but this is all stated in my faq, please read it before asking!
