Moodtheme Problems: Not LJ this time (PhotoBucket)
Account Status: Plus, Paid, Permanent
Theme: All
Dilemma: Suddenly your mood theme isn't working right....
Solution: Replace All
1. So you may have noticed that your mood theme has suddenly disappeared. This time it isn't LJ that is the culprit but PhotoBucket. With the upgrade of their systems, the codes have changed. So currently what you are seeing is this:
2. Here is how to fix the problem. Go to Customer Journal Style>Display. My images are showing up here but it is likely yours are not. Click on the edit/create customer mood theme link.
3. In the Custom Mood Theme Editor you will see all your mood themes and if they are working or not. Go to the one you are currently using (or fix them all one at a time, as I did). Click Edit next to the mood theme you are using.
4. In the editor is where I opened my add-on for FireFox called Find & Replace. Notice that my links (in this picture) start off i77? Before I changed them they all started off s77. So in Find What I put s77 and Replace with I put i77 and then hit replace all. Your number will definitely be different (or not a number at all) so in the Find What put s# (whatever number your links start with) and then in Replace with put in i# (whatever number your links start with).
I've had one example be smg to img so it isn't always a number. The really change is whatever is different in one direct link verses it in your Mood Theme Editor (below). In my case it was a number system but that might not be so for you. So check the circled section of the code in your MTE and your Direct link at PhotoBucket.
Now go to the bottom of this page and click save.
5. When you save you will be taken back to all your custom mood themes.
6. Click the title to view all the images for the mood them (mine is called Lost In Austen by red-temptation).
7. If all the images are showing up then you've successfully fixed your mood theme and can do it to all your mood themes in your personal account and on any communities you might run.
