This was the problem: You’d be searching for Field of Dreams, the critical standout film of 1989. But instead of Kevin Costner, you’d get rolling hills and wildflowers. That’s because we’re giving you the best stuff tagged #field or #dreams (or #of).
Here’s the solution: Choosing #tagged in the app bundles the whole phrase together. You just search for something and tap #tagged at the top of the screen to show posts tagged with that exact phrase.
And hey, slugger. Learn about the tons of other ways you can filter a search in our help center, here.
If you have an iPhone 6s or newer model, you can 3D Touch your way around the Tumblr app. Specific things for you to press really hard on include:
App icon: Press on it, you’ll get a shortcut to search Tumblr.
Tumblr name or avatar: Peek at one, get a preview of that Tumblr. Pop all the way into it and see the whole thing. (Also, you can swipe upwards during your Peek to message the blog.)
For several years, the Tumblr help docs have mirrored the Tumblr experience: clean and simple. And that was fine. But as we’ve added features and choices and compatibility and complexity, the whole Tumblr experience has gotten richer and it feels like our documentation should reflect that too.

using javascript on tumblr pages – how to ask support for permission
✧ What is happening?
As of early May 2022, you might have gotten this message when trying to save edits on your custom pages or when trying to install new ones:
“Looks like you’re trying to add some Javascript or invalid html to your page. You’ll need to contact Support if you’d like to use Javascript.”
✧ Why is this happening?
Tumblr is preventing potential malicious uses of javascript and decided to ban any form of javascript on your pages, and for now the only way to re-enable it is to “contact Support”.
Just “contact Support” is vague enough in itself, so here’s a quick guide on what to write in your request to them so you can get approved asap. Please note that it may take some time for them to process your request. This exact method isn’t guaranteed, but here’s what I did that got me approved within a week.
2. In the Category option, choose “Customizing your Tumblr”.
3. In the message box, list out all the blogs you want to use custom pages on. Then, give a brief description of what you use those blogs for. You only need to state the blog names, *not* each of the custom page urls, or the javascript file links. Here’s a template:
(Remember the please & thankyous! Staff are flooded with requests right now so be mindful).
4. Skip the Attachmentpart.
5. For the Relevant Blogoption,pick your main blog (the very first blog you created on your account)
6. For the Account Email, enter the email you use to sign in to Tumblr
7. Complete the Captcha and wait for the tick ✓ to show
8. Click Next.
9. You’ll reach the “Does any of this help?” screen. No, it does not. Scroll to the bottom and click “No, send my thing”.
And done! You’ll receive a confirmation email from staff that they’ve received your request. They will not send you a reply if your blogs have been approved for javascript usage. You need to check your custom pages every few days to see if you can save any edits, or if you can install new ones.
If you want to go through a tag page without manually typing in /tagged/whatever into the url, there is a way to do it with the tumblr search bar. All you have to do is add a hashtag (#) before what you search for, and it will look for the tag only instead of looking for the phrase in the post content. For example, here is what happens when I search for my username, “hendrixrph” (using that as an example because there aren’t many results):
About 7 results, and three of them just mention me without tagging me. On the other hand, this is what I get if I search for “#hendrixrph”:
Those three without the tag were removed. Still doesn’t fix the tag tracking issue, but this may alleviate frustration when you want to look at a tag. It’s a few less characters to type.
I have heard from tumblr and am currently working with them to get my blog marked as safe. This will be great as it will be open to a much wider audience again.
The current sticking point is my avatar picture on here. Although it doesn’t show my nipples it is deemed as adult apparently. I’m seeking clarification as I don’t believe it breaks any content rules. There are no nipples just the top of my breasts.
But I’m really happy that they are willing to discuss it.
My blog has been marked as explicit due to previously posting nude pictures of myself and reblogging nude pictures of others.
I have reluctantly removed the nude content now in an effort to get my blog marked as safe again. I have raised the issue with tumblr and sent several emails about it but nothing has changed and the explicit tag still remains.
Does anyone have any advice on this matter as my blog is now only seen by some limited followers and is not open to the wider world. Also I believe my avatar is also blurred to everyone still (even though it is NOT NSFW).
are the photoset dash dimensions still 540 / 268, 268 / 177, 178, 177 or did this change sometime this year ? I feel like some of my stuff looks weirdly stretched.
Hey, I’ve been getting SO many asks in the past few weeks from complete strangers, asking me to reblog fundraisers…
I strongly suspect this is because people are noticing a general shift back to tumblr, and they see tumblr as a website ripe for scams based on empathy and identity-based solidarity and so on.
Do not respond to or reblog these fundraisers if you do not know the person (or can’t kind of trace a chain back to someone you do trust). Check their archive (literally take their tumblr url and add /archive to the end) to see if they’ve actually existed on tumblr for a while or are only using this blog recently. The most recent message I got… when I looked at their archive, they had bursts of posts in like two months of 2021, and then this year it was ALL gofundme links. That’s suspicious as hell.
For the record, I will never reblog a fundraiser if I can’t explicitly vouch for the person it’s for, or someone I know well can’t vouch for them. When I reblog a gofundme post or whatever, I swear to god it will be someone I know for certain actually needs some help.
i saved all the gif headers that @jddryder made for me yesterday but the background gifs won’t move anymore after downloading them, not in the preview, not after trying to upload them and i can’t open them in photoshop to change the size or something.
I know we just discussed this on discord but I´ll reblog for anyone who has problems with it. Tumblr changed their gif format to ”gifv”that is why it´s not saving. Here´s how to save them:
right click and open the headers in a new tab.
Check if the url says.gif orgifv
If it´s gifv. just delete the v and then save it normally
Are your post sometimes hidden in tag results? Are you not seeing all of the posts in your tracked tags? Are you missing out on content in the fandom tags you’re looking through?
Findtags fixes that by pullingall of the posts in a tagusingthe API.
How does findtags help?
Some posts are being filtered out of tags, especially if they have external links. Because the API will pull every post (as long as the tag is within the first 5 tags of a post), those posts will not be hidden from these search results.
Findtags makes it easier for artists and other content creators to be seen, and for you to accurately look through your tracked tags.
How do you use it?
Go to @findtags and enter the tag you want to look at! The results will automatically be added to the page.
Please let me know if you encounter an issues using findtags, or if you have suggestions for additional features!
If you’d like to support this project, you can go to my kofi page at ko-fi.com/egg, or reblog this post!
