How To Get Your Tumblr Follow Button Back
If your Tumblr Follow Button, located on the top right corner of your screen, has suddenly gone missing, you’ve probably been doing some modifications to your Tumblr Them code, and in the process, deleted the javascript code snippet that loads the “Tumblr Controls”, these group of buttons, among which are included the Dashboard, Customize, Reblog and Like buttons, also include the classic and most relevant of all, The “Follow Button”.
In order to get the follow button back, there are two main method to restore it. Read below and find out.
How To Get Your Tumblr Follow Button Code Back. Method 1
The first method to restore the follow button if it dissapeared, is to reinstall your Tumblr Theme.
- If you don’t remember your Tumblr’s Theme name, go to your blog homepage and try to find the referral link to original theme. You can also search within your html, the theme author usually leaves the layout title in the first lines of code (Customize Theme >> Edit HTML).
- Once you find the name, just Google it along with the word Tumblr, all official tumblr themes are located at tumblr/themes, and you get the following page for the layout:
- Just choose the right blog where you want to install (reinstall to be more exact) and click on install
- You can also make sure that no extra widget code is interfering with the missing follow button, so you try as well deleting all that it’s inside the description box (just copy and save in a notepad before doing that.)

- If you just refuse to reinstall the theme, you can try by placing the following code right after the <body> tag (Customize Theme >> Edit HTML):
- Update Preview >> Save >> Close
<iframe scrolling=”no” frameborder=”0” id=”tumblr_controls” src=”http://assets.tumblr.com/iframe.html?10&src=http%3A%2F%2F{Title}.tumblr.com%2F{block:PermalinkPage}post%2f{PostID}{/block:PermalinkPage}{block:IndexPage}page%2F{CurrentPage}{/block:IndexPage}&{block:PermalinkPage}pid={PostID}{/block:PermalinkPage}&rk=bgGiB47i&lang=en_US&name={Title}” style=”position: fixed;z-index:1337;top:0px;right:0px;border:0px;background-color:transparent;overflow:hidden;width: 330px;height: 25px;”></iframe>

In order to accurately verify that your follow button is showing up once again, you’d have to have another separate tumblr account, and once signed in, check your blog from that alternate account.
