General questions

1. How do I install your themes?

   Go to my page in the theme garden. You may also want to read the information related to the theme in my themes section.

2. How do I create page links? Or how do I create a link that redirects me to somewhere else? Or how do I create an “about me” page? How do I add links to my navigation bar?

   How to use pages.

3. How do I make a page full of photos in the same style as the "home page"?

   A page is basically a post's permalink page without the date and meta information. For it to be in the same style as your "home page", you will need to upload each photo as a post, tag those posts with something (e.g. #gpoy), and create a redirect page to take you to that tag's page.

   You can learn how to make a redirect page here: How to use pages.

4. How do I enable my ask box?

   

5. Why aren't my gifs moving?

   

6. How do I add a music player? How do I get my music player to work?

   Well firstly,

   

   If you still want to use it then do this:

   1. Put the code into your description box
   2. If it's already there, then doublecheck to make sure you entered it correctly
   3. If it's still not working then you're out of luck because I don't use music players nor do I intend to support them.

7. How do I change my font size?

   • 
   • Determine what size you want your font to be (14px, 12pt, etc.)
   • Enter the following and change it to your liking:

     body {font-size:11px}

   • DO NOT LEAVE OUT THE UNIT!

     The following is not valid!

     body {font-size:13}

   • Here are valid examples of changing your font size using units other than px:

     body {font-size:2em}
     body {font-size:14pt}

8. How do I add share buttons?

   Message me the code and where you want to place it. I will not look up how to add it for you.

9. What theme are you using? When are you going to release it?

   I always use my own themes. I don't like giving release estimates so they'll be out whenever I feel they're ready. I had to release a lot of hotfixes after releasing my first theme, which is something I want to avoid with future ones.

10. Will you make me a custom tumblr theme? Will you design a website for me in exchange for money?

    No.

Infinite Scroll/Endless Scroll

1. How do I enable Infinite Scroll/Endless Scroll?

   • 
   • All options will be in alphabetical (ABC) order. You are looking for the option that says Infinite scroll.
   • Tessellate's options, as of version 2.0, are in this order. All future themes will be in this order.

2. I found it and enabled it but it still doesn’t work?

   People need to understand that saying "it doesn't work" is obnoxiously vague. How does it not work?

   If Infinite Scroll has simply not been enabled (you will know because you will see the bottom pagination) then wait 5 minutes. tumblr's customize takes a bit to update your theme.

   If Infinite Scroll is loading your pages weirdly then it may be due to what you have in your description.

   1. If you put an autopager script or some other code into your description, take it out.
   2. If it’s still not working, remove all the scripts you’ve installed and add them back one by one and see which one breaks it.

Tessellate specific

1. How do I customize how many columns I have?

   Index page:

   • Determine how many columns you want. For example, say you want 2 columns. Multiply that number by 250 so your result is 500.
   • 
   • Enter this:

     #index #container {width:500px}

   Permalink page:

   • This only looks good in either 4 or 2 columns
   • If you want it as 4 columns then leave it as it is
   • If you want it as 2 columns then enter this:

     #permalink #container {width:500px}

2. How do I center my header links?

   • 
   • Enter this:

     #top {text-align:center}
     #links {float:none}

3. How do I make it so my captions show?

   • EDITING THE HTML WILL MAKE IT SO YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE AUTOMATIC THEME UPDATES SO THIS IS NOT ADVISED.
   • 

   • Erase the highlighted parts

     

4. How do I make it so clicking the image will take me to the permalink page?

   • EDITING THE HTML WILL MAKE IT SO YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE AUTOMATIC THEME UPDATES SO THIS IS NOT ADVISED.
   • 
   • 
   • 
   • Enter this:

     #index .photo:not(.photoset) .meta {display:none !important}

5. How do I add reblog links?

   You don't.

6. How do I make my images bigger?

   You can’t. There are hundreds of grid themes in the theme garden that do what you want (and do so better).
