A blog to host my tumblr themes.

So it’s been brought to my attention that some audio posts, ie: those with external sources such as Spotify and Soundcloud, aren’t working on my themes. That’s because at some point, Tumblr updated their theme documentation so that there was separate code for these “embedded audio” posts, which of course my themes don’t have.
Anyways, it’s a bit of a process to fix, but I have zero intention of going through all my themes and updating their code so. Here is how to make it work with my themes.
Look in the code for {block:Audio}. There’s going to be a lot of code between it and {/block:Audio} and you’re going to have to wrestle a bit with it, I’m sorry.
Anything between the {block:Caption} tags or {block:ifShowCaption} tags can be left untouched. The chunk of code directly before it is what you’re going to want to manipulate. This is what it looks like on Theme #24: New Generation
This is what it looks like on Theme #12: Swordland
Hopefully you get the gist. Put {block:AudioPlayer} directly in front of it, and {/block:AudioPlayer} directly after it. This makes it so that the code will only be rendered if the source of the audio post is directly from Tumblr.
Next, directly after the code you just added, put this code:
Change the -500 to whatever size posts you’re using, either 500, 400, or 250. This makes it so that on posts with external sources, it’ll just use that player instead rather than trying to wrangle it into my nightmare code for audio posts.
After the edits, it should look like this (changes highlighted):
Anyways, apologies for the really long post, hope this was helpful. If you have any issues finding the chunk of code you need to edit, let me know.
You might have noticed that audio posts with external sources, ie: Soundcloud or Spotify, haven’t been rendering on my themes. This is due to an update in Tumblr’s code, and I’ll be posting a tutorial sometime tomorrow with the information on how to fix it.
Un-nest tumblr captions, a plugin by @magnusthemes & @neothm
A.K.A theme-makers coming together to save each other’s days.
As we realised most of us had trouble with the parsing (or lack thereof,) of tumblr’s captions, we came up with a solution to “un-nest” tumblr’s captions from their typical blockquotes pilling up inside one another, and therefore coded a light (1.7 KB) plugin able to separate them neatly into their own parts.
Custom accents for side info (see info post on theme preview for how to customize them)
This theme is a revamp of my Theme #06: Tsukiyo, and is the second of my remake burst (see the first here). Please leave the credit if you use this theme! Thanks, and feel free to ask any questions.

GUESS WHO’S BACK. IT’S ME. This theme is a revamp of my Theme #04: Winter. There’s another revamp coming in a bit (for real, I swear), so keep your eyes out for that too!
As always, let me know if there are any glitches or other issues with the code; I’ll have my askbox open for a bit.
Recently theme makers and users have had some trouble with the tumblr controls, and it looks like tumblr have changed the code - or are currently in the process of doing so.
This is why the tumblr controls work for some and not for others.
If your tumblr controls do not work correctly
Tumblr have changed the name of the class and deleted the id on the new code. So instead of working with the id:
The Tumblr blog that hosted the Infinite Scroll code for my Blog is gone, either Tumblr removed it or the blog is gone itself. Now the Infinite Scroll on my Blog is Broken. Tumblr i’m a dissappoint.
For anyone whose infinite scroll hack has broken, this is because codysherman.com is no longer active, and that is where the script was hosted.
Luckily, thanks to the WayBack machine, we can see that the script is still available on tumblr’s static servers!
To restore infinite scrolling (this worked on my blog) do the following:
Click ‘edit theme’ on your blog’s home page (or customize blog)
Click ‘edit HTML’, which you did to put the script on your blog in the first place.
Find the script code; it’ll be “script type=“text/javascript” src=“http://codysherman.com…“
That ‘codysherman’ URL is the one that’s causing problems, since the website is down/blog was deleted. Tumblr still hosts the code, though, so just replace that entire URL, from “http://” to “…/code“ with this URL: http://static.tumblr.com/q0etgkr/EIBmz7s0p/infinitescrolling.js
Save everything, and voila! Don’t change ANYTHING else, JUST replace the faulty URL.
To be on the safe side, if you have your own server, I recommend copy-pasting the code in that JS file and uploading it to your own server, then replace the URL with your own URL. That way even if something happens to that static URL, you’ll be good to go!
Note: if you're on this blog in mobile, use your phone's browser instead of the tumblr app so you can actually access the links in the description and the other pages.
Askbox is still open, but make sure to read the FAQ first!
tumblr sucks at letting me know when i receive a message, so I promise I'm not ignoring you guys! I'll try to check my inbox as often as possible, so please be patient with me.
Wow, it's been a while, hasn't it? Especially since I last made a banner theme. Please leave the credit if you use this theme! Thanks, and feel free to ask any questions.
tumblr’s all messed up again and this time it’s affecting on blog’s backgrounds. if your blog has a black background here’s 3 ways to fix it
1. upload a background image. any image is good and fixes the problem. no theme code editing necessary
2. set your background on no-repeat. the only drawback is that if you want to use a background image after this it won’t be repeated. find a part from the theme code that says “background-repeat:repeat;" and change it to "background-repeat:no-repeat;”
3. replace the background url part with new coding. it works the best since you still can use a background image and have it repeated. just find this part from your theme code
Hey there, sorry for disappearing for the last few months.
I’ve been hearing that the new tumblr update has been messing with themes, but I haven’t actually seen anything like that yet. Could you guys let me know if you find issues on any of my themes?
Oh oops it's already been like 3 months since I last released a theme. Um.
So since I'm really busy with school and everything right now, I decided that I may as well make an official announcement, since I haven't made a theme in a while and don't have any planned for the near future. My ask box will still be open, and I'll still reblog resources to my support blog, but I will not be releasing any new themes for a while.
The codes for my themes are now also available on freetexthost, since pastebin apparently doesn't work in some countries. Check the other links page to find the install links for all currently existing themes; all future themes will have the freetexthost link included on the theme post.
