Want to add nopin code to Instagram images

Hi, glad you are enjoying the plugin!

The Pinterest buttons are most likely being added to your site via a browser plugin, when I visit your site I do not see the ‘pin it’ buttons on those images.

More details here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1020012

I am not sure how you would disable the buttons on just your site or a particular set of images.

Sorry, I should have explained more about how Pinterest works.

You’re right, there aren’t any pin it buttons displayed on my instagram images. That is just the way I want it.

As a Pinterest user, one can pin any image from any website no matter if it has a pin it button or not. You either use a browser extension or a bookmarklet, and that brings up an overlay with all the images from that page.

Pinterest allows website owners to exclude specific images from being pinned by placing a nopin=”nopin” within the html image tag. For example, <img src=”picture.jpg” nopin=”nopin”>. This makes it so that the image does not even show in the pinnable options for that page.

I was just wondering if there was some way to add this to the plugin? I really don’t want those images showing up as images people could pin, and they also just clutter the options for images I do want people to pin. Blogs like mine get the majority of their traffic from Pinterest. 85% of my traffic is referred from Pinterest.

Thanks for the info.

Your only real option for this at the moment is to hack the plugin. You can see the <img/> tag on this line: https://github.com/scottsweb/wp-instagram-widget/blob/master/wp-instagram-widget.php#L98

You could modify that to include nopin="nopin"

Thank you so much! I inserted it into the plugin code and it worked!

No problem. If the plugin updates in future you may need to re-apply the patch or I may make it part of the plugin (or a hidden setting).
