To create a Tumblr App
You need to be logged in to your Tumblr account to be able to access their developer page. So first, login to your Tumblr account and then go to tumblr.com/oauth/apps .

It will redirect you to Applications screen. Click on “+Register application” button . The screen will look similar to image shown below.

Register App Page

Now the “Register Your Application” page does load. On that page enter all the information which are required. Once the required data are filled click on “Register” button. The screen will look similar to image shown below.

Register Your Application Form

Note: When you enter the URL of your website in to the “Callback URL” field, make sure that it does match the URL of your website 100%. This means, if you go to your website and then check the URL in the browser and the URL does look like http://www.domain.com then you need to enter the exact same URL. If your website URL is http://domain.com then you need to enter it that way, without using the www at the front of the name.

After you register you will be redirect to all Application list page. See image below:

Important: When you copy and paste all the needed IDs and Keys, make sure, that you don’t have any empty spaces, either at the beginning nor at the end of these entries. If you have any empty spaces, then the Application won’t work and will show an error message when you try to connect to the App.

After you click on the “Grant Extended Permission” within the plugin’s settings page. Then you will be redirected to page shown below. Click Allow.
