My Pinterest Board Widget does not appear on WP Site?

[AQuiroz]

Hello!

I have been trying to install the Pinterest board widget (which can be located at https://business.pinterest.com/widget-builder/#do_pin_it_button ) on my WordPress site, and am running into some difficulty. No matter how I place the code, the board widget will not show up on my site… I have gone to my site and located the widget code within “inspect element”, so I know that the code has been placed. But the widget does not show up!

I have been following the instructions listed on the business.pinterest.com site, and have implemented the code that Pinterest has provided, in the appropriate locations within my own code. I have tried both the “easy” and the “advanced” code options, as well as the “insert link” and “load the javascript” methods, and ALL are resulting in the same, missing board. I have listed the different methods/code options below…

Insert Link Method:
<a href="https://pinterest.com/pinterest/pin-pets/"></a>

Load the Javascript easy version:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"></script>

Load the Javascript advanced version:

<script type="text/javascript">
(function(d){
  var f = d.getElementsByTagName('SCRIPT')[0], p = d.createElement('SCRIPT');
  p.type = 'text/javascript';
  p.async = true;
  p.src = '//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js';
  f.parentNode.insertBefore(p, f);
}(document));
</script>

I have had people recommend altering the height and width of the board, and this solution has not worked. I have also had people mention that it may be because WordPress does not allow javascript on blogs; however, my WordPress site is a SITE, and it already has functional javascript implemented on it.

Does anyone have a solution for this issue?
Thank you!

yes I’m having trouble too as some tube videos show it can be done https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp97ylhuXeY

but still my pinterest page doesn’t show a preview either which is a bit odd, and it doesn’t work even when using the ‘code’ insert button under ‘text’ view of the content page. hmmm.

resolved, I had to enclose all the code in a open and close code button....
