    Hi,

    I’m having issues with Pinterest’s rich pins not validating properly.

    Open graph and all information is set up in Yoast, Pinterest’s crawler has been added to my site’s whitelist; but when I try to validate my URL the crawler can find the Rich Pin data but is unable to retrieve my Site Name or Favicon.

    Any help / ideas / advice on why this would be happening would be a great ??
    Thanks!

    Site Name
    Pinterest uses the og:site_name meta tag for the site name. Looking at the URL on your profile page, your site outputs a long site name. Some sites have limits but I do not see a specific limit for Pinterest. If you change the site name temporarily to a shorter name, is it recognized?

    Admin > Appearance > Customize > Site Identity > Site Title

    Favicon
    If you haven’t set a site icon, you can define one under

    Admin > Appearance > Customize > Site Identity > Site Icon

    Next step
    If you’ve set both of these and it’s still not working, please run a conflict check.

    Thanks @amboutwe
    I have already set my Site Name and Favicon, but I have attempted shortening my name and re-submitting. Still receiving the same validation error ??

    I will attempt a conflict check.

    Any other ideas anyone can share that would help would be amazing!
