Did Tumblr Change Themes? Oh Yeah, They Sure Did!
So, let’s talk about the major shake-up in the Tumblr world. If you’ve been wondering, “Did they really change Tumblr themes?”, the answer is a definite “yes!” And you might want to sit down, because this change is more annoying than stepping on a Lego in the dark.
Here’s the scoop: Tumblr has waved goodbye to its different post types. What’s the big deal? Well, your jazzy theme now has to decode *everything* as a text post with a fancy image attached. Surprise! No one asked for that. It’s like putting a cocktail umbrella in a glass of water and claiming it’s a tropical drink – not cool, Tumblr, not cool.
Now, I’ve seen this little conundrum firsthand and decided to dig a little deeper. After some trial and error, I discovered that the size of the comic image is tied to the wrapper width. Wild stuff, right? When I cranked the wrapper width up to 1200 pixels, the image stretched out, ready to party, even though there were still clear gaps on the sides. It’s like they’re forcing some cosmetic surgery on the image to make it fit into a different body. Who knew Tumblr had a secret beauty regime?
But hold your horses! Guess what? This fix is like putting a band-aid on a sinking ship. The Clickable Image feature? Still on the fritz. So, while you might patch one problem, the next one pops up like a game of Whac-A-Mole, just waiting to ruin your day.
Are you making any progress in this digital labyrinth? I’ve got my theme from Stash, but as per usual, their only solution is to “go back to the old post editor.” Hah! If only we had a time machine! At this point, it feels like Tumblr’s primary update was to make our lives just a bit more complicated instead of being a user-friendly platform. Can I get a collective groan?
After scouring the internet for over two hours, I realized that all the pretty minimalist themes are like unicorns—adorable but totally non-existent when you actually need one. But fear not! Keep hunting; the right theme might just be hiding behind the proverbial bush.
