hey! you can upload the images in the header and add links to the sideblog images through their respective fields in the customization panel (marked in the screenshots above)

find this section of the CSS:

blockquote {

padding: 1.25em;

border: 1px solid {color:borders};

margin: 1.25em 0;

border-radius: 6px;

}

and replace it with:

blockquote {

padding: 0 0 0 1.25em;

border-left: 1px solid {color:borders};

margin: 1.25em 0 1.25em 1.25em;

}

you have to go into the customization panel at the left-hand side of the customization page and make sure the popup option is turned on:

plus, make sure to toggle all the toggle options on and off at least once when you install because the customization is bugged to shit and it won’t work until you reset the options.

if it’s still not working after you do that, feel free to message me again.

you just need to input the image URL of any image uploaded to the web into the text fields in the customization panel, so it should look like https://exampleurl.jpg. if you aren’t sure how to upload an image to the web, there’s a few explainers linked in my FAQ. really those options are confusing and I should update it but I am so tired lmao

thanks, but sorry, I can’t do that. even if I modified the pagination and you didn’t use the popup, it still wouldn’t be responsive for mobile devices. plus, I wouldn’t want to make a theme that’s only conditionally responsive. just off the top of my head, to fully make it responsive in addition to the popup ad pagination, you’d have to change the search bar, header, top post info, audio posts, and image sizing. plus I always catch stuff I’d never have thought of when I test my themes. it would just be too much work and my time is limited; I’d rather spend my free time working on other projects.

yeah, it’s totally fine! I just wouldn’t recommend doing this if you use the popup option

find this part of the code:

#search {
   position: fixed;
   border-bottom: 1px solid {color:borders};
   width: 100%;
   background-color: {color:posts};
   top: 0;
   z-index: 9997;
   padding: 12px 0;
   box-sizing: border-box;
}

and change position: fixed; to position: relative;

then find:

#posts-container {
   border-right: 1px solid {color:borders};
   border-left: 1px solid {color:borders};
   width: calc({select:post width} + 100px);
   margin: 70px auto auto auto;
   background-color: {color:posts};
}

and change margin: 70px auto auto auto; to margin: auto;

no worries. if you look at a reblogged post with a comment, the post info at the top of the post displays the name and icon of the original poster. if you have that setting turned off, the first reblogged comment below that also displays the name and icon of the original poster who made the comment. the “hide first caption username” hides that info because some users find that duplicate info redundant.

I put it as an option because other users also like to have that info, especially because on reblogged posts where the first reblogged comment is made by someone other than the original poster, the username and icon will be different, so hiding that info will make it hard to tell whether the OP made the comment or not.

hello - that’s because the theme only comes with 300 and 700 font weights pre-installed. to change to another font weight (like 500), you need to install that weight from whatever font site you’re using. that theme uses google fonts (although you could use a different hosting site if you wanted), so if you want to continue using open sans, you need to go to google fonts and install the 500 weight. 

first of all, i really, really don’t recommend trying to do this if you aren’t familiar with basic HTML because otherwise it’s going to be hard; that section of the code isn’t well-commented and structured because i didn’t design to be easy to edit. 

find this part:

{block:ifSideblog3Title}<li>
               {block:ifSideblog3ImageURL}<img src=“{text:Sideblog 3 Image URL}” class=“icon”/>{block:ifSideblog3ImageURL}
               <div class=“subtitle”><a href=“{text:Sideblog 3 URL}”>{text:Sideblog 3 Title}</a></div>
               <div class=“sideblog-desc”>{text:Sideblog 3 Description} </div>
 </li>{/block:ifSideblog3Title}

immediately underneath this part, copy and paste this template:

<li>
       <img src=“yoururl.jpg” class=“icon”/>
        <div class=“subtitle”><a href=“https://sideblogurl.tumblr.com”>username</a></div>
         <div class=“sideblog-desc”>add a description here </div>
</li>

the parts in bold are where you need to fill in your own content. you can have probably up to three more sideblogs in that section. if you add more, it will overflow on small screens.

i think you might have confused it with nightshade because nightshade is the only one of my themes with a banner image wrapped in #banner? for dahlia, all you have to do is upload a picture via the space in the customization panel.

when you open dahlia in the theme editor, the options are right at the top of the customization panel. you don’t have to do into the code at all to add images.

thank you!

and yes, you have to replace everything between {block:Pagination}{/block:Pagination} with something like:

{block:PreviousPage}<a href=“{PreviousPage}”>back</a>{/block:PreviousPage}
       {block:JumpPagination length=“5”}
           {block:CurrentPage}<span class=“currentpg”>{PageNumber}</span>{/block:CurrentPage}
           {block:JumpPage}<a class=“jumppg” href=“{URL}”>{PageNumber}</a>{/block:JumpPage}
       {/block:JumpPagination}
   {block:NextPage}<a href=“{NextPage}”>next</a>{/block:NextPage}

that should work for all my themes, but depending on which theme you use, it’s probably going to look a little funky though without any styling so you should probably play around with it in the css.

thanks! but yes, i’m already aware of the issue. it’s there because that theme is not mobile responsive and doesn’t have a mobile layout (although it is responsive for desktop). please do not use that theme as a mobile theme, because as you see, it’s going to look screwed up. if you’d prefer a theme with a mobile layout, all of my themes except for dahlia and celandine (which i plan to update with a responsive layout sometime this month or the next) are responsive for mobile devices.

i don’t have plans to make that particular theme mobile-responsive because i’d have to recode the popup and a few other features from scratch. honestly, the amount of effort i’d have to put into it compared to the payoff feels…. too imbalanced. sorry about that

first, pick a hit counter (i use this one) and put it between something like <div id=“counter”>COUNTER GOES HERE</div> in the html somewhere above </body>. 

then, in the css, copy and paste this styling and put it above </style>:

#counter {

position: fixed;

left: 20px;

bottom: 20px;

}

plus whatever other styling you wish.

also, this code will work on any of my themes (although you might have some weird overlapping issues on the grid version of holly if you don’t add more css)

it’s just a spot for you to manually enter information and a link to a sideblog if you have it. if you don’t put any info in it in the customization panel, nothing will show up. if you don’t have a sideblog, you could always use it to link to somewhere else. it’s pretty open-ended because it’s completely dependent on what you enter into it

well in theory it should bring up any post that has that search term anywhere in it but tumblr’s search function is busted and their algorithm sucks so it often doesn’t find posts that have whatever keyword you’re searching in it. if you want to change the search to search only for specific tags, you can use this tutorial by shythemes. i’m not sure how well it will work though because tumblr changed their search function this past week so who knows what’s going on
