Quick Tutorial: Disabling stuff on your blog page
Hey, quick tutorial to show how you can disable some features from your blog page you dont want. For example: How about people NOT seeing who and what you like on the default tumblr theme. But this trick will work on almost everything u want to hide/remove.
Step 1: Goto your blog’s HTML theme page. Via Profile [1], then Edit Appearance [2], then Edit theme [3] and then Edit HTML [4].
Step 2: So a little about HTML code. Whenever you code something its good practice to put sections of stuff inside a “<div></div>” box so that its easy to edit and fix. If you look at your blog’s code you can see there’s loads of ‘em! What we’re gonna do is we are gonna find the section controlling the likes and make them hidden. To do this open the search bar using Ctrl + F and then type in block:hasliked [1].
Step 3: Now if we look at the code we can see all the likes widget stuff begin at [1] with the main <div> box starting at the line directly below it. One thing to note is the {block:HasLikedPosts} part is just an organizer, it doesnt do anything, but the div box at [2] certainly does! So now we’re gonna make it disappear.
Step 4: Change <div class=“widget likes-widget”> to <div class=“widget likes-widget” hidden> [1].
Step 5: That’s all you need to do. Click on Update Preview [1]. Wait for the page to update. The likes box should now be gone [2]. If it is then awesome! Click on save [3].
Bonus Step!: If you want to get rid of the Top Posts widget then repeat from Step 2, but search for Block:HasHighlightedPosts instead.
