Since v8.0.0 WPRM loads assets from Pinterest

    Hey Brecht,

    since v8.0.0 WPRM loads an asset from Pinterest defined in “class-wprm-assets.php” which then makes two additional calls.

    Is this now mandatory to share images from recipes on Pinterest? Because before v8.0.0 it was possible without additional JS files. (in this case “pinit.js”)

    I want to keep the bloat of my projects as low as possible, plus connecting to Pinterest’s servers without consent could mean a possible GDPR violation as IP addresses are transmitted. Since log.pinterest.com is called too, I suspect some tracking is also going on. I know my concerns might be nitpicky, but I want to be on the safe side.

    Cheers,
    Philipp

    Hi Philipp,

    Using pinit.js gives us some more options, but I’ll look into adding a setting in the next update that allows you to use the button as it was before, without requiring that JS.

    You can already achieve the same thing right now by adding the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:
    add_filter( 'wprm_load_pinit', '__return_false', 20 );
