Hi Eva! I was wondering if there was any way to add more columns to the lightsome theme? Thank you!
Hey :-) Unfortunately it’s not possible to have more than four columns in this theme. You can change the number of columns in the customize section.

Notes:
Are you using one of my updated theme codes and have noticed an issue with text magically disappearing when reblogging a text post?
If this bothers you, please update your theme code again. I made a small change of one line to solve this issue.
Theme codes here:
When installing a new theme, please always do the following thing right after pasting the theme code. Scroll down to the theme options section and toggle all the switch options off and on again. When first loading a new theme, tumblr has this bug, where it displays toggle options as the opposite of what they actually are. If you switch everything off and on again once, this issue is fixed and everything is displayed correctly. This goes for every theme out there btw.
Also if you are encountering issues with your infinite scroll, make sure to do try the following: Go to your customize page, scroll to the very bottom and click “Advanced options”. Where it says “Posts per page”, make sure 15 is selected. This has been resolving a lot of infinite scroll related issues for me over the years.
Hey everyone,
as previously announced, I have been working on a code to fix the display of so called “NPF image posts” (photos uploaded with the new Beta Editor that look like images inside a text post) in my themes. (Check this post if you haven’t already.)
Recently I have been able to improve the code to a point where it works well with my current themes. That’s why I decided to offer code updates for my recent three themes.
If your blog focuses on posting photos, rather than text posts, then I recommend you update your theme code.
Get the new codes here:
The original theme posts redirect to the new codes as well. If you are however interested in using the old version of the respective theme, you can find these on my pastebin.
Old versions still available here:
If you encounter any errors or problems with the new codes, don’t hesitate to let me know.
Important note: I do not plan to release the code seperately as some kind of “do it yourself” or tutorial as every theme is coded differently and the risk of breaking someone else’s theme is too high. Due to given occasion I would like to ask you not to copy any parts from my theme code and paste them elsewhere. For more information please see my terms of use.
Hi everybody, so since tumblr wants to get rid of post types all together by May 15, I tried to figure out a way to make “old” and “new” image uploads look the same in my theme.
Example:
Left you see a new image upload, on the right side an “old” one, uploaded with the “Legacy Post Editor”.
Since old posts will continue to look the way they do now, and all new uploads will look like the left image above, my themes will look like a mess.
I did a little coding today and found a way to make both pictures look the same, while still displaying text posts normally.
Here is the new version:
Possible problems:
As the new post types are a pain in my ass and pretty much all posts are coded as text posts now, it’s hard to make everything look the way it should. This means I can’t fully guarantee that every single post will be displayed correctly. Especially long text-heavy posts with multiple images (such as this one), might not be displayed correctly with my changed code. But keeping in mind that my themes are intended to be used on photo-heavy blogs, for the majority of people this would be a good fix.
So let me know if you are interested in a theme code update for the following themes:
All other themes have been moved to the #old tag. They are still available, but not supported anymore.
I hope to get at least some feedback on this post. Have a good week everybody.

Blog Pages cannot have JavaScript anymore 😢
You guys, apparently there were some security changes on Tumblr and JavaScript is no longer allowed for blog pages, which probably affects a lot of blog pages that use a custom theme. You need to contact support & ask to make an exception for you if you want to keep using it - which is what I did now (waiting for a reply).
Reblogging this because it effects my custom pages as well
hey girly! i absolutely love the GRAPEFRUIT theme! thank you for letting me use it :) I was wondering if there was a way I can make the size of my posts bigger? thank you! <3
Hey, I’m glad you like my theme. Unfortunately there’s no easy way of making the posts bigger without messing with the theme code. But if you choose lesser columns the posts should appear bigger.
Hello Eva! This is Sienne.
I want to use your Mandarin theme... but I'm not exactly able to. Do you perhaps have a tutorial to it?
ps ur themes are really pretty!
Hey :) I’m glad you like my themes.
I don’t have a tutorial for Mandarin but here is a general tutorial on how to install a blogroll page, that should help you.
Please also make sure to check your tumblr settings (tumblr.com/settings/blog/YOURURL) and make sure the option “Share the Tumblrs you’re following” is activated.
Hope I could help.

hey! i tried to install your grapefruit theme onto a sideblog, but every time, i get, "Your custom theme HTML appears to be invalid." if i try to save after that, it acts as tho the theme has been saved, but when i look at the blog, nothing has changed. i copied the code exactly, tried it on different blogs, on different browsers...i don't think it's an issue with ur code since others have gotten it to work, but more an issue with tumblr, and i was wondering if you had any tips ;_;
Ok that’s really strange, I’ve never heard of this issue before. 🙈
I just tried it on my test blog and it seems to work there. Maybe try to change your theme to a “neutral” default tumblr theme first and then try to install Grapefruit?
Or you could try to install Grapefruit piece-by-piece (first the body, then add the css part of the code.)
But I really don’t know if any of this works for you. If you’re able to get it to work, let me know how you did it.

How do you get the avatar to show in your blog above the title of the blog. I added an avatar but it only shows in the webpage tab and not in my blog above the title of the blog
Hey :) I will need to know which theme you are referring to.
In most of my themes there is a toggle option “Show sidebar image” or something similar that you’ll have to activate before the avatar shows up.
Hello! I am using your Eloquence V2 theme. I was wondering if there was a way I could make my sidebar image circular and about 1/2 the size that it currently is? Also, is there a way for me to put my blog title above my sidebar image? If that is possible, I also downloaded a font from one of your links that I really like, but am unsure how to use it. Thank you!
Hey :) I’m glad you’re using my theme.
All the changes you mention can be made by using basic html & css but they require some work and time. Meaning I can’t just give you some finished codes right here and guarantee it’ll all look great.
I don’t know how much html / css knowledge you have but I can recommend these sites to learn it so you’ll be able to customize themes for your personal use:
For the round sidebar picture you could try adding something like this to your theme’s css:
#header img {
border: 0px;
border-radius: 100%;
width: 120px;
}
Then delete the part in the html where the image width is set:
As this image was originally supposed to be a banner and not a sidebar image, it’ll always show either the blog title or the banner. That’s the way this theme is constructed. You can make both appear at the same time by deleting the blocks around both the blog title and the banner within the html. Deleting the highlighted lines should do the trick:
But again I can’t guarantee this will all look perfect without investing more time and taking a deeper look into the code, which I won’t do.
As for fonts, I highly recommend using Google Fonts for tumblr themes as it’s the easiest and fastest way to use custom fonts in your theme. The site is pretty self-explanatory and can be found here.
The other sites where you can download the fonts (like dafont) I often use for designing banners, etc. But it’s also able to use them on your theme. Tutorial here.
I really hope I could help you with this.

Thank you so much for making this new theme! I absolutely love it, I'm using it on this blog and hungryactually <3
I’m so happy to see people use this theme. I really love your new blog btw 🥰
Hi, I wanna use your theme but I was wondering, is there a way to delete my name on each post? Like if I post something, my name won't show?
Hey, I’ll need more information on this bc I don’t really know what you mean. The easiest thing would be to come off anon and let me have a look.
The only thing that comes to my mind is turning of the “Photo Captions on hover” when using the Grapefruit Theme but I’m not sure if that’s what you mean bc it’s doesn’t show your name, just the post’s caption.
