This should be fixed if you upgrade plugin. Pinterest changed url for specific boards

Sorry for delay – upgrade plugin and you should be good to go!

It looks like Pinterest changed their RSS feed for specific boards, I should be able to fix it tonight and push a new version of my plugin

Do you know how to edit your site’s css file? Add this:

.widget_pretty_pinterest_pins h4 {
display: none;
}

Are you using the latest version of the plugin? It was updated in March based on a change that Pinterest made to photos (SSL)

Closing ticket for now

David – it wasn’t restricted to 4.1.1, it seemed to be a change Pinterest made to their feeds where they started redirecting http to https. I just tested the plugin in 3.4.2 and it works for me.

Do you have a link where its broken? Where are you hosting your wordpress? Are you sure the plugin was updated? To confirm, the “Follow me on Pinterest” button should link to a url starting with “https”

My plugin works by pulling an RSS that Pinterest generates for each user and board. For example, you can add feed.rss to any user’s Pinterest url or board and get an rss feed.

https://www.pinterest.com/jowilki/fat-animals.rss

Last I checked, they don’t offer the rss feed with search terms. If they did, it would be pretty easy to implement, otherwise it’s outside the scope of what this plugin can reliably do without rewriting everything to use the new API. However, I think even with the new API, it only allows you to search pins on your own verified domain name.

I released a new version of my plugin that should fix it for you. So please upgrade and feel free to let me know if you have anymore problems!

Hey guys, I’ll take a look

Hi Cyndi, Facebook looks for a meta tag in your HTML to tell it what image you want to show up as a thumbnail when you share. If you don’t have this tag, it will most likely choose the first image on your page. Its not something I can address from this plugin.

You can solve this by using the facebook wordpress plugin:

It also might be worth it to inquire with the people at the Genesis framework if they offer support

You can also see more info here, they are called open graph objects:

Open ticket again if problem still remains

I checked it the other day when it was up and the follow button showed up for me in chrome and ie. Possibly a cache issue, you can try to hit Ctrl-F5 in Chrome and/or clear cache and see if that helps

Can you link me your site so I can check it?

Thanks for chiming in saphira1969, that would definitely cause the issue as well.
