Where are the Tumblr photo's after the update

Hi! We recently made some changes to how things are Publicized to Tumblr, but they shouldn’t have caused this problem. Can I have some URLs so I can check? Both of your WordPress site and your Tumbler posts that didn’t come out as expected.

Thanks!

I’m having a similar problem with my site — pictures are being inserted but it’s not posting as a photo on Tumblr, it’s a text post. So the photos are showing up twice for some reason but on the Tumblr Dashboard they’re showing up as the gray photo placeholder. It also inserts the title as the Tumblr post title AND as a link underneath that.

Hi all,

We recently made changes to how things are Publicized to Tumblr, but these results are not quite what we expected. We’re looking into it and I’ll let you know when we have a fix.

Hello again!

We’ve made some more refinements on our end. Let me know if you see further wonky results.

Richard,

Thanks so much for your work on this. The refinements are definitely an improvement, and I like that the excerpt is now longer than it used to be (though it’s perhaps slightly too long now, as it includes part or all of the read more link as well), but there are a couple things that were better before your changes a few days ago, so I’m hoping maybe there’s a way to reincorporate them into the other things you changed.

Because it’s now posting as a text post rather than a photo post, here’s what a post looks like on the Tumblr dashboard. In contrast, here’s how it used to look. As you can see, the version with the image posted as a photo (rather than an inserted photo in a text post) looks far better. The same is true on the Tumblr blog itself. Here’s the new look and the old look. Because the image is now inserted inside a blockquote, it’s also distorted.

Additionally, the title is posted both as the post title on the text post and as a link right under it. This redundancy is unnecessary. In the old version, it looked great on the Tumblr page itself but on the dashboard displayed as regular text, so it would be ideal if it could be bold or something to make it stand out a little more.

Do you think there’s a way to resolve these issues? Thanks again for all your hard work! It’s very much appreciated!

Thanks, I’ve passed it along!

By the way, I always enjoy seeing your gravatar because I know I’m going to get good feedback; thank you for your attention to Jetpack! Would you be interested in joing our beta program? If yes, then contact us via our form and mention the beta program, and someone will get back to you with a few questions and more info. If not, no worries, I always value your feedback anyway!

I wanted to second SheerHeartAttacks comment.

I’m having the same experience except all of our images are showing as blanks due to a 403 Forbidden Error being generated by WPEngine. Perhaps becuase it’s loading the image off of our server instead of Tumblrs?

The most recent post came through ok, so hopefully it’s fixed.

Thanks!

You can also see from the archive how text posts with no images show up vs the previously used image posts: https://hyperallergic.tumblr.com/archive/2014/2

@veken: It is considered impolite to interrupt another poster’s ongoing thread unless you are posting a solution or suggestion. As per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic.

@esmi: In veken’s defense, I replied on this thread myself first, as I was having the same issue as the original poster, so there were already multiple people on the thread when veken joined. Since it’s the same issue for all of us it seems more prudent to keep it in a single thread (unless the OP objects), no? But if not, again, I made the same “faux pas” before veken did so if anyone should be admonished it’s me, and I apologize.

Understood. Please post your own topic.

Sorry about that. Just like SheerHeartAttack, I assumed this was all related to the same issue of images not appearing on tumblr and that’s why I didn’t want to start a duplicate thread.

I thought my examples might help them troubleshoot the issues as they were similar but not exactly the same as SheerHeartAttack’s. Also Richard Archambault seemed to welcome her comment here, so I though I would add additional context to it with another example.

Please don’t. The Jetpack support team are more than capable of joining the dots across a number of topics. To quote myself from another topic – the chance of a successful resolution of a topic is inversely proportional to the square of the number of different posters with similar issues involved.

In other words, the more people who pile in, the less likely the topic will:
a) make any sense
b) get solved.

Dear Richard,

We’ve made some more refinements on our end. Let me know if you see further wonky results.

I’ve updated jetpack to the latest version but to be honest, i don’t see any refinements. Even not on the changelog regarding Tumblr.

Can you please explain what has been changed?

@sheerheartattack

Thanks for joining..

Let’s not forget, everything should be made as easy as possible and not too complicated.

That’s fundamental for posts.

The essence will be:
– title
– photo
– 1 alinea (3 phrases at most)
– Hashtags

Thank you very much.
Peter
