  I’ve been trying to add a Pinterest widget to my blog using the Pinterest Widget Builder here:

  https://developers.pinterest.com/tools/widget-builder/?type=profile&boardHeight=280&boardWidth=400&imageWidth=300&template=custom&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fhellagoodhairr%2F

  I have used the method here:

  http://www.twelveskip.com/tutorials/wordpress/1319/add-pinterest-to-wordpress-sidebar

  but it won’t show up. Any ideas on how to fix this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  What plan are you on? Premium and below user can not add javascript to their sites. That is why this is showing up I think

  //assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js

  I would recommend you use the plugin to do it. Do a search for “pinterest widgets” in the plugins area

  Okay, that makes sense! I’m on the free plan for now, at least until I fully commit to my blog. I chose WordPress because I have worked with it before & it seemed more customizable than Blogger, so I hope I can at least add my Pinterest to my blog.

  I searched the plugins, & I’m getting a message that only business plan members can install them. Am I just out of luck on this then?

  Yes it looks like only business plan can add plugins as well.

  I usually work on other hosting companies and run my own installs so this isn’t usually an issue.

  Sorry I wasn’t more help
