Problem with “types of posts” in Tumblr

    Hello,

    I installer the plugin on my WordPress. But the Tumblr links all appear as “regular”, as they are supposed to be images. I was told that this is because my posts on Tumblr are marked as “text” but contani no text, no titles, just images. I usually post my Tumblr images directly from my phone, opening the image galery and sending the images to Tumblr. I didn’t know that this may be happening. So what I’d like to know are the following :

      Is there any way to change the post type on the posts on my Tumblr, turning them to media posts so that the image will be shown on WordPress?
      Is there a way to tell Tumblr that my posts are by default images?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    As far as I know, there is no way to change the post type of existing posts on Tumblr, nor do I know a way of setting a default post type (those may be questions better directed at Tumblr support).

    However, I have just pushed an update (0.2.14) to the plugin which should handle images embedded in plain text Tumblr posts:

    * this will only be done when the content type in the widget is set to ‘whole post’

    * to avoid those ‘regular’ titles being shown, tick the ‘make whole post clickable’ option

    Hopefully things should start looking more like you were hoping for with this new update – let me know!
