THEME QUESTIONS: IN GENERAL/ALL THEMES
□ Where did you get the theme for your books page?
I made it and I will not release it, sorry.
□ Can I change the colors on your theme?
Yes. You can change anything you’d like as long as the credit stays. But do not credit me as base or inspiration, if you’re only editing a theme I coded.
□ I don’t have an askbox!
You need to activate your askbox by going to Blog Settings and clicking the box that says “Allow people to ask you questions”. If you want to enable anonymous questions just click in that box too.
□ How do I make a theme?
Google is your friend.
□ How do I add a link?
Just type in this:
<a href=”URL HERE”>LINK</a>
□ Can I change the font of the theme?
Of course. Find this section of your code:
body {
background-color: {color:bg};
font-family: current font;
font-size: 11px;
color: {color:text};
text-wrap: normal;
word-wrap: break-word;
margin:0px 0px;
text-align:center;
height: 100%;
}
And change current font into the font you want!
□ What width/height is the sidebar image?
To find out the size, go to the live preview of the theme you’re using. Right-click on the picture and open in new tab/window. The size should be listed in the tab. Alternatively, go to Customize and scroll down to the section that controls the sidebar image (for example; #sideimage) and look at the width/height values.
If you’re using theme #003: Heat Wave, check below in the theme’s section.
□ How do I remove the source/via links under the pictures?
Try this guide!
□ How do I add Google Adsense to the theme?
Here’s a tutorial!
□ It says “page not found” when I click on index
Tumblr used to accept /index in the URL as a link to refresh the page but it doesn’t anymore. Please go to Edit HTML and find this part:
<a href=”/index”>Index</a>
and change it to <a href=”/”>Index</a>
□ I can’t for the life of me figure out how to change the links and text in the sidebar.
Go to your Customize page. Once you’ve installed the theme, on the left side of the preview is a sidebar. You add your sidebar text into the “Description” box and change/add your links by adding urls or text to the “Additional Link Title/URL #” parts.
□ How do I use a background image instead of a color?
Go to Edit HTML and replace this code: background-color:#hex;
With this code: background:url(‘URL HERE’) repeat;
□ How do I move the next/previous page down/up?
Find this code:
#pagination {
margin-top:400px;
And change 400px to a number of your own choice. Increase to lower or decrease to pull it up further.
THEME #007: Zeus
□
THEME #006: Trespassing
□ The sidebar image doesn’t fit.
It’s because your sidebar image is too big. What you can do is find this part of the code:
#sbimage {
margin:10px auto 0px auto;
float:right; }
And underneath it, paste this code:
#sbimage img { width:265px; }
THEME #005: Strawberry Swing
□ I use infinite scrolling and would like to remove the next/prev links.
Just go to Edit HTML and delete this part:
<div id=”pagination”>{block:Pagination} {block:PreviousPage}<a href=”{PreviousPage}”>«</a>{/block:PreviousPage} {block:JumpPagination length=”6”}{block:CurrentPage} <span class=”current_page” style=”padding-right:3px;padding-left:3px;”>{PageNumber}</span> {/block:CurrentPage} {block:JumpPage}<a class=”jump_page” href=”{URL}”>{PageNumber}</a>{/block:JumpPage} {/block:JumpPagination} {block:NextPage}<a href=”{NextPage}”>»</a> {/block:NextPage}
</div>{/block:Pagination} </div><br>
□ How do I remove the description box?
Go to Edit HTML and find and delete this short code:
<div id=”stext“>{description}</div>
□ How do I make the links stay in place/remove the hover effect?
Go to Edit HTML and change these settings:
.links{
margin-left: -205px;
opacity: 0;
To these:
.links{
margin-left: -5px;
opacity: 1;
□ How do I delete links in the sidebar menu?
Go to Edit HTML and find this section, it’s below <body>:
<div class=”links”><br>
<a href=”{text:link1 url}”>{text:link1}</a>
<a href=”{text:link2 url}”>{text:link2}</a><br />
<a href=”{text:link3 url}”>{text:link3}</a>
<a href=”{text:link4 url}”>{text:link4}</a><br /><a href=”{text:link5 url}”>{text:link5}</a>
<a href=”{text:link6 url}”>{text:link6}</a><br /><a href=”{text:link7 url}”>{text:link7}</a>
<a href=”{text:link8 url}”>{text:link8}</a> </div>
Then to delete links, simply erase as many as you want, from the bottom up. But make sure that the bolded sections remain intact! Otherwise it will mess up the whole theme.
Each link starts with <a href=”“> and ends with </a>.
□ Can I remove the hover effect on the posts?
Yes, to make the post info visible at all times, find this in your code:
.right { background:transparent; opacity:0; font-size:9px; margin-top:0px; text-align:left; margin-left:526px; position:absolute; }
And change the opacity:0; to opacity:1;
THEME #004: Summertime Sadness
□
THEME #003: Heat Wave
□ What is the size of the sidebar image?
300x240px
□ Why does the white border around my sidebar image stay behind when I scroll?
The codes have been updated to prevent this, please reinstall the theme!
□ When I press the “refresh” link it says that the page don’t exist.
See answer in general theme questions above.
□ What are the fonts in the title section?
They’re both from Google Web Fonts. This themes fonts are:
Marry the Night is Oleo Script (link)
Warrior queen is Droid Serif (link)
THEME #002: Heartlines
How do I add more links to the sidebar?
Here’s how you do it!
I used the LINK thing but whenever I do it just mucks the whole theme up and the posts end up covering the sidebar.
Sometimes an important part gets deleted while editing this section, but it’s easily fixed. Answer here.
□ Can I change the color of the next/prev arrows?
There is no custom option attributed to the navigation arrows. They are just the same color as the links. If you’d like to change the color, replace {color:page} or {color:page hover} with any HEX code of your choice here;
#pagination a {color: {color:page};}
#pagination a:hover {color: {color:page hover};}
□ When I write a lot of tags, they surpass the length of the posts.
THEME #001: RABBIT HOLE
□ How do I change the background color on your credit?
You can add it as a link or change the background in this section:
#cred {font-size:9px; letter-spacing:1px; opacity:1; text-transform:uppercase; bottom:10px; right:10px; position:fixed; background-color:white;padding:20px;}
Replace “white” with any HEX color or color name (ie. black/gray/etc)
□ Can I change it so that I don’t have to hover for tags?
Sure thing. Just find this code, and replace the bolden section with opacity:1;
.tags {
margin-top:5px;
opacity:0;
padding-left:5px;
font-family:’Droid Serif’;
font-size:9px;
text-transform:lowercase;
letter-spacing:1px;
□ I was wondering if there was a way to make the next and back arrows for the pages bigger. also how do i make the font a bit bigger?
To make the font bigger on the theme, change the bolded part below, to 12px or whatever you want:
body {
background-color: {color:Background};
font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: {color:Text};
text-wrap: normal;
word-wrap: break-word;
margin:0px 0px;
text-align:center;
height: 100%; }
The size of the arrows should change automatically if you do that. Otherwise you’ll have to edit the pages section by itself if you want them to be even bigger.
