If your blog is posting spam or your themed blog shows the fake login screen, you can fix it!

  • First things first, change your password! When you do so, make sure the page you are on is a secure Tumblr page (how to recognize one)
  • Second, if your blog has the fake login screen, you need to reset your blog’s theme!
    • If that isn’t possible, you can go in and remove the offending code. It is a couple of lines near the bottom of your theme code that start and end with <script> tags and has a bunch of code with seemingly random numbers and letters
