Integrate the Feed Seamlessly
- Thinkific has a structured and clean design philosophy. Customize your Wisernotify Tumblr Feed’s appearance to match the fonts, color scheme, and styling of your Thinkific pages. This ensures the feed feels like an organic part of your course website rather than a tacked-on element.
Use Strategic Placement to Build Trust
Place the Tumblr Feed where students seek social proof the most:
- Directly below the course introduction.
- Alongside student testimonials.
- Near course purchase CTAs. By integrating the feed close to decision points, you strengthen buyer confidence and encourage enrollment.
Keep It Light and Mobile-Optimized
- Since many Thinkific students access courses on mobile devices, it’s essential that your Tumblr Feed loads quickly and looks clean on smaller screens. Limit initial posts to 3-5, and ensure responsive design settings are enabled in Wisernotify.
Feature Relevant, Engaging Content
- Curate your Tumblr posts to highlight student wins, behind-the-scenes course previews, live webinar invites, or client testimonials. This adds meaningful content to your page instead of irrelevant updates.
Refresh Content Periodically
- While Tumblr auto-updates through Wisernotify, consider periodically reviewing which posts are shown. Highlight newer success stories or community milestones to keep the feed aligned with your current offerings.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Adding Tumblr Feed to Thinkific
Pasting Code into the Wrong Section
Thinkific’s Site Builder requires using the Code section for embeds. Pasting the Tumblr Feed code into a Text, FAQ, or Image block won’t work and may cause display errors. Always use the correct section for smooth integration.
Neglecting Mobile Responsiveness
Thinkific users frequently access content via mobile devices. If you don’t test your Tumblr Feed on mobile, you might miss layout issues or slow loading speeds. Use Wisernotify’s mobile preview and make adjustments to padding, font size, and post limits as needed.
Displaying Too Many Posts
Showing an excessive number of Tumblr posts can clutter your Thinkific page and slow down the experience. Limit your feed to 3-6 posts and enable “Load More” functionality to keep the design clean and user-friendly.
Ignoring Visual Consistency
An embedded Tumblr Feed with mismatched colors, fonts, or layout compared to your Thinkific design disrupts the user experience. Use Wisernotify customization options to align the feed with your brand aesthetics.
Forgetting to Save and Publish After Embedding
After adding the Tumblr Feed, always remember to click both Save and Publish in Thinkific’s Site Builder. Otherwise, your changes won’t go live, and users won’t see the Tumblr Feed.

Adding a Tumblr Feed to your Thinkific site using Wisernotify is a fast and effective way to make your pages dynamic, credible, and more engaging. Whether you’re promoting a course, community, or brand, real-time content from Tumblr can boost trust and help drive enrollment.
