“Can’t Connect To Server” Error on New XKit - Don’t Panic!

Some of you on loading Tumblr today may have received a popup that looks like this:

image

This popup is in fact lying. Some of Old XKit’s services finally expired and stopped running today, and while we operate our own codebase, there are some references to the old one in a few places that triggered a notification when they went down.

New XKit still works.  In fact, if you reload the page, the notification should no longer display and New XKit should still function normally.

If you are still using Old XKit, now is a great time to download New XKit!

Blacklist Text Search Has Been Fixed

We’ve received a number of reports that the Blacklist extension was not able to search post content after the advent of the New Design. We’ve released an update with Blacklist 2.7.6 which should resolve these issues and correctly register blocked words in posts again.

This update should roll out to all XKit users shortly, but if you’re impatient, you can manually update using the control in the “Other” tab in XKit preferences.

As always, feel free to let us know about any issues in our support chat or on Github.

AlreadyReblogged and PostBlock: Fixed!

We pushed an update for a bunch of extensions earlier, fixing the issues with AlreadyReblogged and PostBlock being broken due to a change in naming on Tumblr’s side (data-root-id -> data-root_id)

You can either wait for the extensions to update automatically or manually update under the Other tab in your XKit Control Panel!

Editable Reblogs Bug When Adding Images to Posts

Hey, all! This announcement is just to let you know that we’re aware of a bug with Editable Reblogs causing posts to disappear if an image is included using the “camera” button on a new line. This seems to once again be rooted in Tumblr’s rather brittle parsing strategy; we hope to have a fix ready by sometime tomorrow.

In the meantime, one workaround that seems to be effective is dragging and dropping images directly into the post.

Updates on this bug can be found at https://github.com/new-xkit/XKit/issues/523.

As always, feel free to contact us with any questions.

okay we’re back

thanks for sticking with us!

tumblr code is hard and frustrating and unfortunately neither of the people testing it tend to use the HTML editor by default. thanks for putting up with our flubs while we try to keep your posts sane <3

anyway, both the Rich Text and HTML editors are now in tip-top condition. make sure that you’re on Editable Reblogs 2.1.2. versions before that will not work properly.

you can update Editable Reblogs early (before it gets updated automatically by XKit) in the XKit menu.

as always, let us know if you have any issues: either in our support chat or on github.

Fixing Missing Posts

new-xkit-extension

Editable Reblogs v2.1.0 has just been released. This should resolve the issues mentioned in our previous post regarding Tumblr parsing changes which rendered ER posts invisible on the dash because it did not recognize the text as representing reblogs.

This update should resolve issues for anyone using the Rich Text editor or HTML editor as their default. In other words it should no longer require any manual changes by the user and you should just be able to hit the post button as normal. As always, if you’re having problems come to our live chat or stop by our askbox or github issues page

After updating to the new extension, you can also fix your old posts. First, find the post on your posts page, then click the edit button. Finally, confirm that the post looks correct and press submit. The post should automatically update to display correctly. If it doesn’t, drop us a line.

Happy Tumbling!

(Side note, there’s a small catch to all of this: Those using the Markdown editor will currently have problems using Editable Reblogs for now, although we hope to resolve this soon. In the meantime, switch to using the Rich Text or HTML editor by default)

EDIT: Should be deployed now, sorry everyone. These changes can be found in version 2.1.0 of Editable Reblogs—make sure you’re on that version before reporting any issues.

new-xkit-extension

okay we’re super sorry, but it looks like we pushed out HTML editor support before it was done, and we’re going to have to roll it back for now until we can get all the bugs worked out.

If you’re having problems such as your post content being replaced by “<p><br></p>” or other weirdness, please try switching your default editor. 

As always, thanks for your patience while we try to sort this stuff out.

current state regarding the dashboard update

new-xkit-extension

We know that the dashboard update isn’t liked by everyone. We’re currently working on an extension that allows various changes to how reblogs are shown, including but not limited to decreasing the margin in replies and going back to the “old” blockquote look. When this will be released is unknown (we’re working hard on it), so wait comfortably with the idea of a fix coming soon™.
