BUG: Pinterest link

    I began noticing “<a href=” appended to the link in my 404 Redirection plugin log. The bad link is coming from the way the Pinterest button draws.

    <img border="0" src="<a href="//www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fkentbrew%2F6851755809%2F&media=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm8.staticflickr.com%2F7027%2F6851755809_df5b2051c9_z.jpg&description=Next%20stop%3A%20Pinterest"><img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png" title="Pin It" />

    That src for that image would quite literally be a filename, relative to the current page, starting with “<” — and would generate the 404 in question because it terminates immediately in a double quote after the equals sign.

    So far I have only noticed this issue with the Pinterest button.

  • Was that fixed? Because I am experiencing exact same thing

    Here is the broken html:

    <img border="0" src="<a href="//www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fkentbrew%2F6851755809%2F&media=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm8.staticflickr.com%2F7027%2F6851755809_df5b2051c9_z.jpg&description=Next%20stop%3A%20Pinterest" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="beside">

    After getting no response here, I removed the Pinterest button option. Wish they would fix it.

    I am probably going to fix the issue myself, I will create github repository for it, just in case someone will need it ??

    I’d be curious to see that, DolphinTamer! ??

    Or–where is it contained in the plugin files — I could just self-hack.

    Thanks!

    in simple-social-buttons.php, just replace

    <img border="0" src="<a href="//www.pinterest.com

    by

    <img border="0" src="//www.pinterest.com

    in order to fix the 404 errors
