Post+ is going away in January 2024.

We originally introduced Post+ to uplift and support the vast swathes of incredible creators here on Tumblr. It was intended as a way for creators to offer content to their followers in a paid subscription format.

Well, it didn’t land as we’d hoped. We’ve heard your feedback and monitored usage, and after much consideration, we’ve decided to remove Post+ from Tumblr.

Here’s the timeline:

As of December 1, 2023, you will no longer be able to enable Post+ on your blogs.
Existing Post+ content will remain accessible through the end of this year.
In early 2024, we’ll remove the ability to create new Post+ content, and existing Post+ content will be marked as private. From then on, it’ll be up to each creator to determine whether they want to make those posts public.
Subscribers will no longer be billed starting January 2024. If you subscribed using In-App Purchase from an iOS device, you’ll need to cancel your subscription manually to avoid being charged.
You can read more about this change over here.

And, while Post+ is going away, Tipping is here to stay. You can enable Tipping via your Blog Settings on web (Account Settings on mobile). Once a blog has Tipping enabled, any original post can receive a Tip, with the money going directly to the creator.

Theme designers: Notes are now available in tumblelogs

We’re about to start rolling out a bunch of features focused on interaction between tumblelog authors and their readers. Post notes are going to be the glue for all of this interaction, so we’d like to ask all theme designers (and anyone with custom themes) to incorporate this new tag:

{PostNotes}

This will render the post’s notes (including reblogs and likes) on their permalink pages. Check out an example on my tumblelog.

Unlike our other theme tags, this outputs generic HTML markup, so all you need to do is style it with CSS. Here’s a basic stylesheet to get you started:

ol.notes {
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 25px 0px;
    list-style-type: none;
    border-bottom: solid 1px #ccc;
}

ol.notes li.note {
    border-top: solid 1px #ccc;
    padding: 10px;
}

ol.notes li.note img.avatar {
    vertical-align: -4px;
    margin-right: 10px;
    width: 16px;
    height: 16px;
}

ol.notes li.note span.action {
    font-weight: bold;
}

ol.notes li.note .answer_content {
    font-weight: normal;
}

ol.notes li.note blockquote {
    border-color: #eee;
    padding: 4px 10px;
    margin: 10px 0px 0px 25px;
}

ol.notes li.note blockquote a {
    text-decoration: none;
}

You can get the full documentation (including complementary tags like {NoteCount}) on the Custom Themes page.
