Make sidebar image not pinnable

Pinning isn’t an option in WP – are you using a plugin or is that part of your theme?

Hello WPyogi! Thank you for responding! I am using a plug in called Simple Share Buttons. It picks up all images as pinnable unless I put the code nopin=”true” for an image in a post. BUT that code does not work for text widgets in the sidebar.

Here it the code from a sidebar image I have inserted into a text widget. The nopin=”true” is not working! This image still appears as an option to pin when someone clicks the Pin button on any post!

[ Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button. ]

<div align="center" style="margin-top: -20px">
<a href="https://recipetineats.com/cheese-garlic-crack-bread-pull-apart-bread/" title="Cheese Garlic Crack Bread"><img nopin="true" src="https://www.recipetineats.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Cheese-and-Garlic-Crack-Bread.jpg" alt="DESCRIPTIVE-TEXT-OF-YOUR-LINK" /></a>
</div>

Thank you for your help!

So you’ll need to ask on that plugins forum about any questions –

You could try to use css display: none to hide the button.

The html for a Pin button on your site is:

<div align="center" style="margin-top: -15px">
<a data-pin-config="beside" data-pin-do="buttonPin" href="//www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.recipetineats.com%2Fcheese-garlic-crack-bread-pull-apart-bread%2F&media=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.recipetineats.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F01%2FCheese-and-Garlic-Crack-Bread.jpg&description=Cheese%20and%20Garlic%20Crack%20Bread">
<script src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" defer="" async="" type="text/javascript">
Reload the page to get source for: https://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js
</script>
</div>

There is no css class in this so it is hard to apply css.

The above is contained in:

<div class="textwidget">

so you could try

.textwidget a {
display:none;
}

Of course you need to know css in WP a bit in order to do this.

Also, this forum is for general WP questions. You may want to try the plugin developer support at

Thank you wpfan1000! I will give that a go. And if that does not work, I will try the plugin forum (thank you for directing me to them WPyogi, and I am sorry for putting this thread in the wrong place).
