Title: F2 Tumblr Widget Author: fsquared Published: May 20, 2014 Last modified: January 5, 2022 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/f2-tumblr-widget.svg) # F2 Tumblr Widget By [fsquared](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fsquared/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/f2-tumblr-widget.0.2.16.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/f2-tumblr-widget/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/f2-tumblr-widget/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/f2-tumblr-widget/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/f2-tumblr-widget/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/f2-tumblr-widget/) ## Description The F2 Tumblr Widget displays recent posts from the provided tumblr blog. It allows the user to select how many posts to display, to restrict which posts are shown by type and tag, and to render the posts as either a list or a slideshow. Posts can be displayed in full, as title only, or with an excerpt. Photo, video and audio posts will have the media displayed when the display type is not ‘title only’. The audio player in posts can now be automatically resized to match the selected media width – this is enabled by default, but can be deselected in the widget setup. ## Screenshots [⌊Widget configuration⌉⌊Widget configuration⌉[ Widget configuration ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. 1. Upload the `f2-tumblr` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install directly through the ‘Add New’ option in the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu 3. Include the `F2 Tumblr Widget` widget on your pages through the ‘Appearance’ menu ## FAQ ### How is the title for a post determined? Tumblr does not allow all post types to have a formal title defined. For those post types (such as photos), either the first HTML header in the caption will be used (h1 to h3) or, if none can be found, the first sentence. ### Why do I see strange characters instead of quotes? If your tumblr posts contain ‘smart quotes’, these can sometimes be rendered as strange characters to some users. The plugin will attempt to convert these to plain quotes, unless the ‘Replace “special” characters’ option is unticked. ### My blog has an SSL certificate (https://) and I’m getting ‘unsecured content’ warnings? By default, this widget pulls data from Tumblr over http; this results in displayed images also using this protocol. If you have an SSL certificate installed on your blog, you may see warnings from your browser about ‘unsecured content’ which refers to the images from Tumblr. If you change your Tumblr URL setting to be preceded by ‘https://’, the widget will access Tumblr over https and the resulting images will also be served securely. This will one day become the default approach, but for now is left up to the user as it can potentially cause problems on badly configured web servers. ### My widget is empty! Due to some changes to Tumblr’s API, the data can be interrupted by a GDPR consent notice. From version 2.12, there is an advanced setting to change the ‘user-agent’ string sent to Tumblr – this currently defaults to a value which works, but as Tumblr may change things at any time it remains configurable by the user. If you’re experiencing an empty widget, please post on the widget support page, and we will work out what it needs to be set to! ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/62ce1c13fb9adab6d6245898c15d76020e04d6a58ff3dfb2cb23a29203308f28? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Working fine since update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/working-fine-since-update/)󠁿 [chrisnreed](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chrisnreed/) June 20, 2020 Updated mid may 2020 so now working fine.

These images will be limited to 100% of the widget. * Posts without titles or slugs will no longer have the post type used as a ‘stand in’ title when the whole post is set to clickable. #### 0.2.13 * Merged all latest changes; this should force an update to become available via WordPress.org #### 0.2.12 * Added an option to specify the user-agent used to fetch data from Tumblr. This defaults to ‘Wget/1.18’, which prevents Tumblr from disrupting their API with a GDPR consent notice. This has been set to be configurable, in case Tumblr makes further changes to their servers. * Added an option to make the entire Tumblr post clickable, rather than just the title. #### 0.2.11 * Suppressed large volumes of XML warnings, generated by Tumblr hiding their v1 API behind a GDRP warning page. This doesn’t actually resolve the issue, but will stop your error log filling up with masses of messages. #### 0.2.10 * Added a new option to make the whole post clickable, rather than limiting the link to just the displayed title or media. #### 0.2.9 * Increased the maximum number of posts displayed from 20 to 50, which is the maximum that the Tumblr V1 API will provide. #### 0.2.8 * Will how honour the HTTP protocol of the source tumblr, if provided. This means that if you have an SSL certificate on your blog, you can avoid the widget generating‘ unsecured content’ warnings by providing your Tumblr URL with a ‘https://’ prefix. #### 0.2.7 * Fixed a bug in the caching code, which resulted in excessive calls to Tumblr. #### 0.2.6 * Added a new Content Tpe of ‘Media Only’, which shows photos / videos without displaying post titles. * Added a new Display Type of ‘Horizontal List’ – this will show posts side by side if the widget has sufficient space. Works best with media-only posts. #### 0.2.5 * Fixed some bad comments in the stylesheet which prevented some styling from getting properly applied. Thanks to jchriscook for spotting this! #### 0.2.4 * Added an option to replace “special” characters such a smart quotes, which can cause display problems for some users. This is on by default, but can be unchecked if for some reason desired. * Added a ‘Title And Media’ content type option; this shows just the title and any media – essentially it’s ‘Post Excerpt’ but with no text. #### 0.2.3 * Bug fix, to prevent the widget failing when processing a Tumblr photo post that contains no caption. * Moved the widget script loading into the footer. #### 0.2.2 * Added the option to adjust the width of the player in audio posts to match the chosen media width. #### 0.2.1 * Added CSS to ensure that media posts with short text are properly separated. * Improved handling of the provided Tumblr URL to be less picky. #### 0.2.0 * First public release. #### 0.1.0 * Internal version. ## Meta * Version **0.2.16** * Last updated **4 years ago** * Active installations **200+** * WordPress version ** 3.3 or higher ** * Tested up to **5.8.13** * Tags * [feed](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/feed/)[Tumblr](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/tumblr/) [widget](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/widget/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/f2-tumblr-widget/advanced/) ## Ratings 5 out of 5 stars. * [ 6 5-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/f2-tumblr-widget/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 4-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/f2-tumblr-widget/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 3-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/f2-tumblr-widget/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/f2-tumblr-widget/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 1-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/f2-tumblr-widget/reviews/?filter=1) [Your review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/f2-tumblr-widget/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/f2-tumblr-widget/reviews/) ## Contributors * [ fsquared ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fsquared/) ## Support Got something to say?
