How to add Tumblr Feed to a Bolt CMS website

Embed Tumblr Feed on Bolt CMS

01

Create a Tumblr Feed extension for Bolt CMS on Common Ninja

First, create a Bolt CMS Tumblr Feed extension on Common Ninja. On the extensions catalog, find the Tumblr Feed and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Tumblr Feed extension

When you're done creating the Tumblr Feed extension, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Tumblr Feed Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Tumblr Feed extension to your Bolt CMS website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the extension embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Bolt CMS website.

04

Paste the code to your Bolt CMS website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Bolt CMS website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Bolt CMS’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Tumblr Feed Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Tumblr Feed extension on your Bolt CMS website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Tumblr Feed extension on your Bolt CMS extension. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Bolt CMS website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Tumblr Feed extension to your Bolt CMS website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Bolt CMS website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Tumblr Feed widget when Tumblr is part of your content presence and you want those posts visible on your site in a consistent layout. The feed pulls your latest Tumblr updates automatically, so visitors always see what is new without manual work. This is useful for artists, writers, fandom communities, and brands that use Tumblr for visual and short form storytelling. Embedding the feed helps visitors explore your ongoing work in context and can drive more followers. It also keeps your site fresh and active, showing that your brand publishes regularly. With clear post previews, users can scan quickly and open what resonates with them, increasing time on site.
