Pinterest’s developer documentation says I can remove Rich Pin data by placing a tag in the <head> section of my pages. How long does it take for the change to become active on Pinterest, because it still looks just like it did before I added the tag. I tried to create some new Pins and cleared my caches, but to no success.
Then I found this code in the source of my website, which disappeared immediately when I deactivated the Yoast SEO PlugIn:
<a class='ab-item' href='https://developers.pinterest.com/tools/url-debugger/?link=https%3A%2F%2Foliver-mark.com%2Fportraits' target='_blank'>Pinterest Rich Pins Validator</a>
So I suspect it has something to do with Yoast, although I can’t quite figure out how to disable this within my Yoast settings. The Pinterest tab in the Yoast settings only lets me add a verfification code for my website.
Do you have any suggestions?

I am referencing this guide for rich pins. My site is validated already, Pinterest says I’m good to go. However, the pin description that is getting pulled into Pinterest is my excerpt, NOT my metadata description that I am entering via Yoast. From what I’ve read I thought what you enter into Yoast is supposed to be the information that gets pulled for rich pins? My excerpts are really long. I only want those to show up on my blog page archive or post grid carousel blocks. I want the data I put into Yoast to be what shows up on my pins.
I contacted Pinterest. They said this is “expected behavior. Rich Pins automatically sync information from the associated website, not the meta description part, so the edits will need to be made in the web page rich Pin metadata”. Are they saying that Yoast has no bearing on Pinterest at all?
I think I’m clearly missing something, I appreciate yall’s help.

I put all codes in place
plz go through the link and track the error
thanks
Can I confirm that Yoast is feeding pinterest the correct data somehow?
Any ideas?
Thank you,

As you would see, the author and date of publication is mentioned:
https://snipboard.io/Per0SK.jpg
Facebook Profile ID mentioned (I saw in one post that it needs to be defined)
https://snipboard.io/4APyug.jpg
(I have tried putting the entire FB URL and only the username part)
And yet, the Rich Pins dont seem to pick up author and published date.

Can you please guide me?
Does it impact the overall performance of rich pin, like less visibility because 2 fields are missing?
Thank you for all your help.
]]>On hitting the button, I get an error message ‘Missing Fields.’ When I scroll down I find the error is at the Authors field, which shows:”–“.
I have furnished the Facebook profile in Yoast tab. How to rectify this error ‘Missing fields’ now?

]]>I’ve edited the Google Preview snippet to include a metadata description but when I try to validate my Pinterest Rich Pin and then pin the image, nothing shows up in the image titles and descriptions.
Is there somewhere else that I can change the post metadata or any other way I can resolve this issue?
