Yoast SEO stops Pinterest validating JSON-LD tags

    Hey everyone,
    I know a lot of people are having problems with Pinterest rich pins at the moment but this is a different issue that I haven’t found anyone else reporting.

    When I have Yoast activated on my site, the Pinterest rich pin validator only validates the open graph ‘article tags’ and not the JSON-LD ‘product’ or ‘recipe’ tags also on many of my pages.

    If I deactivate Yoast, the JSON-LD tags are validated without issue.

    If I add open graph tags to my site using another plugin (with Yoast still deactivated), the open graph and JSON-LD tags both validate without issue also.

    Can anyone tell me why the JSON-LD tags are not being validated when Yoast is activiated?

    Many Thanks!

  • I have the exact same problem on all of my maintained websites using latest Yoast SEO. I’m using WP Recipe Maker on these sites, too.

    Pinterest only recognizes Article Rich Pins instead of Recipe Rich Pins. If I disable Yoast SEO, it works as it should.

    Is that an issue on Pinterests end? Do you have found a solution?

    @eocreative18 The source code of the provided page shows the OpenGraph type is set to article which is why Pinterest sees it as an article and not a product or recipe. The plugin you use to create products or recipes can hook into the schema and change the OpenGraph type to the correct one.

    This plugin fixed the problem:

    Now the Pinterest rich pin validator validates both article and product tags and displays the pin as a product rich pin as per the Pinterest rich pins order of priority.

    Give it a go @rockyourblog

    Works great so far, thanks for the tip! I’m gonna use this until either Yoast or Pinterest will fix this issue.
