GPOY User Guide

Welcome to the full feature list and customization guide for my theme, GPOY. The Theme Options are categorized and listed below — they're in the exact same order as they are in the theme editor itself. If you need help installing this theme, please visit the theme installation guide or send me a message at my help desk. Thanks!

Theme images

Background

Optional The image that covers the background of your blog.

NOTE: This will only appear if you've chosen the Uploaded Image color scheme.

Favicon

OPTIONAL The tiny icon that shows in the browser tab.

NOTE: If you leave this option empty, the favicon will use your Tumblr avatar.

Theme colors

Color Scheme

This will change every color in your theme apart from post colors (which will always be default white). There are ten options total: Default (old Tumblr blue), Modern (new Tumblr blue), Dark (a dark gray/black scheme), Galaxy 1-3 (with different galaxy picture backgrounds), Doctor Who, Sherlock, Supernatural (all with corresponding background images) and Uploaded Image (which works alongside the image uploaded in the Background image option).

Theme fonts

Font Size

Changes the font size of the theme. 14px (default), 15px, or 16px.

Dropdown options

Post Size

Changes the width of the posts. 500px (default), 540px, 600px, 650px, or 700px.

Sidebar Width

Changes the width of the right sidebar. 200px, 215px (default), 250px, 275px, or 300px.

Boolean options

Always 99 Unread

When enabled, a red 99+ badge will appear next to the Tumblr logo.

Blockquote Replies

When enabled, reblogged post replies will be in nested blockquotes.

Create Post Section

When enabled, a fake "Create a new post" section will appear at the top of the blog.

Endless Scroll

When enabled, pagination will be replaced with infinite scroll.

Text options

Title

Optional The title that appears at the top of the sidebar.

NOTE: If left empty, it will use your Tumblr blog title instead.

Description

Optional The text that appears underneath the title of your sidebar.

NOTE: If left empty, it will use your Tumblr description instead.

Sidebar navigation

Home Link Title

Optional The title of your Home link. If left blank, it will use "Home" in your account's native language.

Ask Link Title

Optional The title of your Ask link. If left blank, it will use "Ask" in your account's native language.

NOTE: If your ask box is disabled, this option will not be used.

Submit Link Title

Optional The title of your Submit link. If left blank, it will use "Submit" in your account's native language.

NOTE: If your submit box is disabled, this option will not be used.

Archive Link Title

Optional The title of your Archive link. If left blank, it will use "Archive" in your account's native language.

Followed tags block

This block takes a list of tags that you provide and outputs them in a clickable list in the sidebar.

Tags separated by commas

Optional This is were you put your list of tags, separated by commas (with or without spaces). Works with hashtags, spaces, and other punctuation. If this option is left blank, the entire Trending Tags block will disappear. You can include any number of tags, but be warned that this block uses the Tumblr API and can slow down your blog's performance if you include too many.

Here's a couple of examples of how to format your text for this option:

• dogs, cats, horses
• #videos, #future reference, #omg!
• my face, #lol, me & you

Suggested blogs block

This block displays a list of Tumblr blogs and includes their username, blog title, avatar, and a link to their blog. This can be useful if the blog is run by multiple members, or if you have sideblogs that you'd like to include.

Accounts separated by commas

Optional This is were you put your list of blogs, separated by commas (with or without spaces). Hyphenated blog usernames work just fine. If this option is left blank, the entire Suggested Accounts block will disappear. You can include any number of accounts, but be warned that this block uses the Tumblr API and can slow down your blog's performance if you include too many.

Here's an example of how to format your text for this option:

• staff, changes, blog-username

If a blog username is typed incorrectly or that blog doesn't exist, it will not appear in the list of accounts.
