codefish

I was hoping the protocol relative urls would fix this issue, but it doesn’t. The SSL certificate used by Pinterest is not valid for the domain it is serving the images from (sorry for the dutch error):

media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com gebruikt een ongeldig beveiligingscertificaat.
Het certificaat is alleen geldig voor de volgende namen: *.akamaihd.net , *.akamaihd-staging.net , a248.e.akamai.net (Foutcode: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

As far as I know, the only way to fix this properly is if Pinterest would fix the SSL certificate. Another (workaround) would be to use the https:// version also from SSL, however this will trigger a warning in most browsers. Yet another solution would be to remove the Pinterest widget completely for SSL pages to prevent the error from showing.

Hope this helps!

Do you have a link where I can view the issue?

I see the CSS for .row is not set correctly in the plugin. Try this:

#pinterest-pinboard-widget-container .row { width: 195px; height: 65px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; }

That should fix your issue. I will release it in the upcoming version.

I released version 1.0.6 which should fix the broken layout. Let me know if you still have issues!

For now I’ll revert the CSS change I made. Was trying to fix the shortcode but it seems this needs a little more thinking before it’ll work properly.

Did you use the plugin before, or did it go wrong after the update?

Let me know if I can help out, for now I’m closing this thread.

what is the link to you website?

If you want to render the shortcode from PHP code, you can use:

echo do_shortcode('[pinterest_pinboard username="pinterest" rows=3 cols=3]');

You can just use the shortcode in your page. Some samples are in the FAQ:

OK. Let me know if I can be of any help. For now I’m closing this thread.

This has to do with how the plugin currently works. I’m hoping to fix this in an upcoming release..

I released a fix for this issue in 1.0.5 available for download now; the plugin uses protocol relative urls for the thumbnails so SSL issues should not happen any longer.

I’ve not seen this before. What version are you running and do you have a link to your site?

Release 1.0.5 is available for download!
