Tumblr Controls

ladmilk:

Recently theme makers and users have had some trouble with the tumblr controls, and it looks like tumblr have changed the code - or are currently in the process of doing so.
This is why the tumblr controls work for some and not for others. 

If your tumblr controls do not work correctly

Tumblr have changed the name of the class and deleted the id on the new code.
So instead of coding with the id:

#tumblr_controls

You need to change it to:

.tmblr-iframe.tmblr-iframe--desktop-logged-in-controls.iframe-controls--desktop

Or change it to one of the classes:

.tmblr-iframe

.tmblr-iframe--desktop-logged-in-controls (css visible if logged in)

.iframe-controls--desktop
If your tumblr controls still does not show, it might be because it’s hiding behind another div. Add this to the tumblr controls css:
z-index:999999999!important;

update 1/16/16

things that should b fixed:

  • broken infinite scrolling on themes with names* (i’m gonna start to update and fix up all the themes with numbers hopefully)
  • broken photosets (wouldn’t show the whole photo?honestly i didn’t figure out why but i remade all of those themes..)

extraszsz:

  • oil has option for 500px posts
  • virgo has option for 400px posts
  • angel can have 1 or 2 columns and 250px or 400px posts

*the cody sherman infinite scrolling broke on some themes because the original script was deleted (not sure why their whole site was deleted but i guess any theme using this code is affected) so if you aren’t using 1 of my themes try replacing this:

<script type=“text/javascript” src=“http://codysherman.com/tools/infinite-scrolling/code”></script>

with:

<script type=“text/javascript” src=“http://yourjavascript.com/21212225154/esz.js”></script>

(you may need to retype the quotations)

update 1/9/16

hellooo~many of you have probably noticed that the follow/dashboard buttons have disappeared on a few themes (tumblr messed with the z-index of them so things like headers would cover them up -_–) but enyways i’ve changed it on all of the affected codes(i think all..) so you can reinstall them to get them back to normal 8^)

however if you’ve edited your theme and don’t want to lose it add “z-index:9999999999999;” after “iframe#tumblr_controls {” (basically as many 9s until it shows up)
