#* generator troubleshooting

[byluna]

hii, i have a question, where’s the menu of the tumblr post? can u explain it with graphics? i cant find it😭

hi! i assume you want to know where to paste the html code once it's generated in the space generator!! i'll give a quick overview under the cut, although this is only for tumblr desktop as it unfortunately no longer works on mobile

if you reblog a post or make a new one, there will be this little cogwheel in the top right!!

this is where you'll find the dropdown to switch between editors!

this is where it'll give you a html editor where you can paste and preview your text!

i hope this helps!

hiii!!

i was wondering if you could help me on how to make make small text!

every time i try it makes the text bigger like:

'example'

i have no idea as to why its doing this but if you could help me it would mean a lot thank you!<3

hi, would you mind sending me a screenshot of what is happening on your end? on my end it looks like i assume it's supposed to, the regular tumblr small font ( screenshot under the cut ). you can also message me off anon and I'll respond privately !!

thanks for your improvements on your space generator <3. i still noticed i have to pick the color anew every time i mark a text to change colors. can that be improved? in the previous editor, i only had to pick the color anew if i clicked on the drop-down menu.

hi! I'm really sorry, this should not be happening. if you choose a color from the color picker once it should show up under "document colors", and the next time you reload the page your recently used color should appear under the default ones.

perhaps your browser saved an old version of the page to save data, would it be possible for you to clear the browser data for this page or carrd in general? if this doesn't work, please contact me off anon so i can troubleshoot with you!!

with the generator do you just paste the copied text into tumblr?

ive been trying that and when i paste it into a post the color doesnt show in the post edit mode and if i save it the text is still colorless

hello!! i have a little turorial with pictures here !! if you are still experiencing issues, feel free to message me off anon so i can help troubleshoot :3

hi! so, I've been having an issue with the font generator deciding to not to paste to any of my posts and it just reverting back to the original white color. I was just wondering if I've been doing something wrong maybe and if there's a way I could fix it?

hi!! i'm so sorry, that's very odd! i have no idea what could cause this specifically, but i do recommend if you've had the tab open for a bit to reload it now and again, or if you can, clear the browser cache and try again. if the issue keeps persisting (across browsers as well), don't hesitate to approach me off anon with more details and i'll look into it further!

a question about the html generators for spaces+color txt. if i wanted to add images and audio links is that possible? or would i have to do that manually

hello!! the short answer is no, unfortunately tumblr has quite a lot more steps to the html for images and audios, which i can't replicate in the little text editor. i would suggest you write + style your text in the generator, paste it into the beta editor and then switch back to rich text to add your images/audio/other media.

little explanation under the cut!

whenever you add any media to your post, tumblr adds a whole lot of stuff around it to make it look + work well within the post editor and on the dash. that means a lot of <figure>, <div>, <span> and other brackets that you wouldn't "conventionally" use when displaying media in html.

tumblr also notices if your image is big enough to be displayed full-size or if it is small enough to keep its original size, i.e. a 100x100px roleplay icon. all those pretty smart things i unfortunately can't replicate in my text editor application.

if i were to add i.e. the "insert image" function without any of the tumblr shenanigans, it would just output the boring old <img src="image url"> bracket, and it wouldn't show up in the post. i'm unfortunately not enough of a coding beast to be able to recreate tumblr's functions.

i'm really sorry, i hope this explanation made sense!

hello, i am experiencing an issue with the text wrap as well. words get cut off randomly and continue on the next line at the end of each line, when they should just start a new line if a word can't fit in the previous line. if i had to guess, it's probably because the post treats the text and spacing as one huge chunk of text (if that makes sense), because i tried adding double spacing manually in my posts and it works fine that way... it's just extremely tedious. your generator is really great aside from that little hiccup though, i'd really like to use it. from what i've noticed, this issue crops up with both double and triple spacing using the code generated from your generator.

hi!! thank you so much for letting me know! i think i've fixed the issue, i was previously using non-break spaces ('&nbsp;') because several simple spaces (' ') are treated as just one space in html, but ofc the "non-break" part of that means that words don't wrap onto the next line like they should. i've now made the single spaces be replaced by a mix of break and non-break spaces, which was what the previous spacing generator also did. i hope this resolves the issue for everyone who struggled with it, i'm really sorry for my oversight!!

thank you to all the users reaching out about this, and thank you all for your patience!!
