Disable in process pictures for Pinterest

Hi there,

The only way to do that right now would be to create a custom recipe template and manually output the instruction image with that attribute in there:

Do you often have a problem with people pinning those images?

Kind regards,

Well, I’ve been trying to update all of my posts with correct alt tags for pictures. Up until recently, many blogging “experts” were telling us to put our Pinterest description in our “alt” tags. It has recently become more well known that we should be putting the information for seeing impaired there- so I have alt tags like “raw pork and fat being cut on a cutting board.” That is now the description that gets pinned when people do pin any of those posts. I’ve been manually going through all old posts and updating the photos with “photo-pin-description” attributes- and then add my preferred pin as the media for the ugly pics.
I have added the premium version of Social Warfare to sort of force people to pin what I what them to. The problem is that many people use the browser button and just pin the first thing that shows up.
So, long story is- yes, I still often have people pinning pics I wouldn’t like them to. I’m not sure how many of them are weird raw pork pics, but I’d have to go through and look again.
I’m just trying to gain as much control as I can- especially now that I’m going through and doing all fo the work on every post anyway.

I may have to look into making my own anyway- everybody tells me that they can’t rate my recipes, and it’s because I’m using your colorful recipe template, and it doesn’t have the count of how many people have rated a recipe.
The problem is- is that it appears that absolutely nothing happens when people click on the stars to rate it. People have no idea they have actually voted.
I find the whole system of rating that way a bit frustrating because of that.
I have already had several people tell me they can’t rate my recipes- and I’m guessing they probably have, and it’s just impossible to tell.

Right. If you do go for a custom template you can easily solve that by changing this line:

<?php echo $recipe->rating_stars(); ?>

And just add a true in there:

<?php echo $recipe->rating_stars( true ); ?>

Oh- Thank you! That shouldn’t be that hard.
Please consider making an option to block or somehow controlling which images show up for Pinterest in an update of the plugin. That would make you a super rock star, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who would greatly appreciate it. ??
