Pinterest's Official "Pin It Button" Doesn't Work

  • The plugin “Pin It Button for Pinterest”, published by pinterest for wordpress to add a “pin it” button when the cursor hovers over an image does not seem to work with Sugar and Spice.

    According to the plugin’s readme.txt, the following issues could be causing the plugin not to work, but I’m not sure how to figure out which one is causing the issue or how to fix it. Suggestions?

    The hover Pin It button might not appear if the following situations are occurring:

    * The image is referenced in your CSS or style tags as opposed to an img src
    * The image is being displayed using a lightbox or other gallery plugin that uses AJAX
    * There is some other sort of on-hover effect over the image
    * The image has the data-pin-no-hover="true" attribute set
    * The image has the nopin="nopin" attribute set
    * Your image src starts with data:

    Manually adding <script type=”text/javascript” async data-pin-hover=”true” src=”//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js”></script> to the header file seems to have resolved this issue.

    Hello!

    There are many Pinterest plugins, if you could post link to the one you used I could verify what’s the issue. Using a plugin is important, because you should never edit theme files directly as you did – all those changes are lost during theme update.

    Hello!

    It’s really important that you post a link to plugin you used, not just mention it’s name. “Pin it button for Pinterest” is pretty generic name and there is unnecessary room for error. Anyway in Pinterest documentation I found a link to plugin called Pinterest hover Pin it button, installed it on my demo site and the button displays, even though it’s position is slightly off. Is that what you meant by “does not seem to work”? Is this the plugin you used? Did you try disabling other plugins to check if there’s a conflict? Also please post your website address, it helps if I can see the issue.
