Tumblr feed does not update

That’s not an issue I’ve come across before – although the plugin does cache data, it’s something measured in minutes and hours rather than days.

If you can give me some more information (your tumblr URL would be a good start, along with what details you’re seeing and ideally what settings you have used in the plugin) I might be able to be of more help!

Thank you for the response. Our tumblr URL is https://www.lexschola.tumblr.com. We are using WP Symposium PRO for social network and the theme, Sydney. Our site is not yet live.

We have

Post types: photo
Cache duration: 10 minutes
Widget title: Lexschola on Tumblr
Display type: vertical list
Number of posts: 3
Max media width: 250px
apply to audio posts checked
Media alignment: Centered
Content type: title and media
replace special characters checked

Style settings: nothing has been adjusted

The feed looks great and is what we want. The only issue is that it’s still stuck on the original 3 gifs.

Thanks,

Nikki

Sorry I adjusted us for 2 posts

Ok, I can see the problem here. You currently have the post type set to ‘photo’, but only your first three Tumblr posts are actually photo posts – all the rest appear to be ‘regular’.

You either need to use Tumblr ‘photo’ posts, or change the post type in the widget to ‘All types’.

Thank you.

I waited an hour for it to update but now I only see titles. No gifs.

Ok, digging into the code it looks like the widget doesn’t attempt to extract media from non-media posts (like ‘regular’) – I’ve added this to the issue list, and will update this thread once that’s included.

Is there a particular reason why you’re not posting this pictures as picture posts? That might be a solution in the short term.

Incidentally; you shouldn’t need to wait for the widget to update content – whenever you change the widget settings it clears it’s cache and should fetch fresh content right away.

Thank you.
