403 Forbidden Error in pinterest

Hi @strivedigitals

Can you please provide more information on what the CORS error was? What pages did you see them on – admin section or public? How did you fix it?

On my page, I want the Pinterest images on click of the Pinterest button.

I opened one blog and then clicked on the Pinterest button of the Shareaholic plugin. then I can see the blank images with alt tags and in the dom when I click on the src tag then I can open it on the new tab then that image is showing.

Example:- https://www.teachworkoutlove.com/party-planning-tips-for-working-moms/

My site page link and after you can open that link and then click on the Pinterest icon then you can see the blank images. In the console, you can see the 403 error.

for the CORS error, I have added this code in the .htaccess file.

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
	Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</IfModule>

After that, I am getting 403 errors.

Please let me know If you want more information.

This should “just work”.

– You have a lot of plugins installed – ~57. I wonder if one of them is causing an issue with your configuration. Have you tried to disable them one by one to see if it may resolve the issue? Especially caching plugins that can modify headers.

– Have you tried to reach out to your hosting provider? Are they (or something else) blocking Pinterest from hotlinking to your images?

Thanks for your reply.

we had disabled all the plugins to check whether any plugin was blocking the pinterest, but no results.

And It was working well but facing an issue before one week.

@strivedigitals Have you tried to reach out to your hosting provider? Hosts do have the ability to block requests from specific referrers (ex. pinterest.com) or “hotlinking” images all together. The block might be on their end vs. something you added. It’s worth checking with them.

Hi @strivedigitals were you able to reach out to your host?

We are going ahead and marking this issue as resolved due to inactivity. If you require any further assistance please create a new issue or re-open this one!

Hey @shareaholic
We have discussed with our hosting provider but there is no issue with hosting. Still, the issue is not resolved. can you please tell me the next step?
