Theme 11 customization
Regarding the simpler fields:
"Secondary title" refers to the title just above the posts, under the header and navigation. This defaults to "[Total posts] Works in [Username]" when the field is left empty.
"Filtered tags" takes a comma-separated list of tags, entered exactly as they'd be written in the Tumblr post editor but without the hashtag. E.g. the tags #politics, #red and blue, and #green would be entered as "politics, red and blue, green" (make sure there's spaces, and no comma after the last item!). The filtering plugin will then put a warning message over any posts with those tags, along with a button letting you show the post.
"[Section] title" act as the headers for the corresponding section, if provided. "Custom links title" defaults to "Pages" if nothing is entered, and is used when the custom links are displayed on the navbar.
"Featured tags" takes a comma-separated list of tags, in the same format as Filtered tags. This field will display links to those tags, along with the number of posts in that tag on your blog, in the left sidebar.
The Recent posts section displays the 5 most recently posted/reblogged posts on your entire blog, displaying in the left sidebar. If you enter a tag under "Recent posts tag", it'll instead display the 5 most recent posts in that tag on your blog. Only 1 tag is allowed.
Rules and FAQ
Both these sections work the same way. Each new item, a rule or a question, consists either of one statement, or a statement and some more text, usually as an answer or additional note. E.g. the screenshot below shows three rules, where the last one has more text in the dropdown.
To create an item, prefix it with <li> . To add more text, create a <li> item and add a [more] label underneath, then write your extra text after that. To illustrate, here's the Customize page code for the above:
Updates
This section is similar to Rules/FAQ, though it flips the order around. After each <li>, first list the date, then add the [label] marker, then add your actual update. Again, here's an example:
And here's the Customize page code that created that:
Toggles
This section displays checked/crossed-out items, and uses a simpler version of the formatting for the above sections. Use <li> for each new item, then add [on] or [off] at the end, depending on whether you want it checked or crossed off. Here's an example:
And here's the corresponding Customize code:
Progress bars
This section also uses <li> items, where each item has two parts: the text label, and the number(s) for the progress percentages, put inside square brackets like with the other sections. Here's an example (note how the top two use fraction values while the bottom one uses a percentage):
And here's the code that made these. In short, the format is <li> Text here [##/##], or <li> Text here [##%], where ## refers to any number.
Social links in footer
The footer links, aside from the email and personal website fields, take usernames or user IDs for various websites. Be sure to check you're not entering a username in a user ID field!
The Email address field takes a standard email in the format [email protected] and adds a link to let people mail that address.
The Personal website fields will generate a link in the footer's Follow section. Personal website name is the human-readable text label for the generated link, and Personal website URL is the URL that will open when the generated link is clicked. Make sure to add https:// to the start of the personal website URL so the generated link doesn't just redirect you to a different part of your blog.

...if only in a more annoying way, but still. Here’s an explanation.
Okay. So. With the old desktop Tumblr, you could browse your likes by entering a page number. Super simple. With the new dash, pagination disappeared. Without pagination, there’s no way to get into your likes except by starting at the most recent. And if you’re like me and have several thousand likes dating back years, that isn’t going to work.
Pagination is now back but now it looks like this: https://www.tumblr.com/likes?before=1590290753
That bolded number at the end is now a Unix timestamp, so that URL would show you your likes starting right before May 24, 2020 @ 3:25am (UTC). Use a Unix timestamp generator/converter to get the number for the date you want, and just use that URL with the Unix time you want.
You can google “Unix timestamp” or “Unix time converter;” based on my 5 minutes of testing I like EpochConverter.com* because it has a pre-filled human date which means less typing of minutes and seconds for me, but there’s a bunch of others.
Side note: you do not need to have endless scrolling disabled for this to work, you can copy and paste the URL above. (But if you wanna disable endless scrolling, Settings > Dashboard > make sure “Enable endless scrolling” is turned off)
Other side note: as I type (July 2020), pagination is back only for likes, not for the main dash yet.
(Update: pagination for your dash is back in 2021, but it uses post ID numbers rather than Unix time, so I haven’t found a way to easily figure out how to jump to a certain time frame. My best suggestion is to disable endless scrolling so your dash will have pages, and that should make it easier for you to keep your place if you’ve got a lot to go through.)

@staff ok, sorry, maybe I should have been a little more specific:
When I’m following someone, I want to see everything they post. In the morning before work, I’ll start paging back through my dashboard looking at all the posts that were made since the last time I was on Tumblr. I rarely get through them all, to the posts I’ve already seen, before I have to stop and go to work.
Before the update, I would bookmark where I’d got up to. Then at lunchtime, I’d load up the bookmark and keep scrolling back. I can share bookmarks between devices, so I take the page I’d gotten to on my desktop and resume reading page-by-page on my tablet. When my lunchbreak was over, I’d bookmark where I’d gotten up to again.
Eventually, I’d get back to posts I’d already seen, and delete the bookmarks. Maybe it wasn’t the most efficient system ever, but it worked.
Then you removed pagination. I couldn’t bookmark pages anymore. I had to start with the most recent (that I’d already read), and scroll back through all the posts I’d read in the morning to find the posts that I hadn’t read from the night before.
Adding pagination buttons back in without bookmarking doesn’t actually solve my problem, here.
