Tumblr changed the visibility options

[lantphoon]

I can not see this option: {Visibility -> blog is explicit (to see/download NSFW likes)} on my tumblr settings, so i can only download non-NSFW content. How can i fix that? Please help.

[lantphoon]

it's actually a tumblr issue but i don't know how to fix that.

hmm.. looks like it's gone for me as well. I've got the same two options as they are on your screenshot.
Maybe they already removed the explicit option? It certainly still was there two days ago when I last checked it for another thread/questions.

Maybe someone here has more information. I don't have the time right now to look into this, but I can still see some liked/by sites with NSFW content, thus they didn't removed it completely, but maybe just prevented users to newly set this option?

I'm having the same problem. I was trying to download all my likes and I have 300,000+ but it's only allowing me to download 100,000 pics. I'm guessing it's because my blog isn't marked as explicit. It used to be, but I turned it off just in case tumblr decided to delete blogs early and I can't turn it back on. I even emailed staff to turn it back on for me but they replied and gave me a vague answer on why they can't. I'm seriously desperate right now and we only have 6 days left to do this. I can't find any other alternative tumblr downloaders that downloads likes that I don't have to install because I'm not the admin of my computer, and the admin won't allow me to install anything.

This appears to be the case. I still show the option in the iOS app, but if I try to set it there—either changing an explicit blog to non-explicit, or a non-explicit blog to explicit—it doesn't save the setting.

Use Tumblr app can slover this problem.

Thanks for the tip, @chudoga!

The tumblr app workaround doesn't work anymore. You can toggle the option on but it doesn't save the setting. As soon as you leave the settings page and go back the option shows as turned off again.

Guess the only solution is to download it youself.

This is also an issue for me, i have about 30k likes, most of which are flagged nsfw. I can view everything in https://www.tumblr.com/likes but not in https://www.tumblr.com/liked/by/myblogname/ So im also looking for a work around for this.

Since we are providing our login credentials anyway, is it possible to have the program crawl through /likes instead?

I got slightly complacent seeing that all my likes were still intact so i was waiting for another developer to update his program, which pulls likes from the api. However im starting to see that might he might not come through and there doesn't seem to be a reasonable way to save any of this stuff now.

I would even settle for just a list of urls for the pictures and videos and write my own program to download them.

[speckledorfe]

I don't know if this would work. Most of my NSFW likes are now blank, with the message: "This post may contain sensitive content" and no option to reveal it.

for me at https://www.tumblr.com/likes on pc nothing is blocked or hidden. @speckledorfe
However in the android app everything is hidden with that message. It seems that only pages that are publicly visible have nsfw content blocked.

Possibly. I've never tested it as it was superfluous until recently as the public url was able to display the same content as the private likes url, but on the other hand allowed to download even likes from other people.

Maybe the code can actually be completely reused, but only the url (path) differs.
