  Hello,

  I’m having trouble embedding a pinterest board into a blog post. I have followed the instructions and removed the link from the url but when I go to preview it just shows a clickable link and not the pinterest board. Do I need to do anything else?

  The post is currently saved as an untitled draft

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

  Hello @therecycledweddingcompany,

  If you followed the article on how to Embed from Pinterest and still aren’t seeing the boards.

  Make sure your editor is in the text tab and not visual on the top right corner. If that still doesn’t do the trick. Try clearing your browsers cache and restart your browser then trying it again.

  Let me know if that works!

  Best,
  Bill

  Hmm that sure is strange.

  I recommend following our list of Browser Issues. If the picture still don’t show up. I recommend contacting WordPress staff through the contact form. As, they will have the ability to look at your site and analyze what may be causing the problem.

  I also have tagged this thread with ‘modlook’ to have another eye on it.

  Best,
  Bill

  Hi therecycledweddingcompany,

  I’ve checked your draft post and the Pinterest URL is valid, so there is no issue there.

  The embeds on the Embed from Pinterest support guide are working and there is one small difference between the URLs.

  Your post includes a link to this Pinterest board:

  All of the URL’s in our guide reference pinterest.com (not pinterest.co.uk). When I add a URL containing pinterest.com your board is displayed:

  Can you give that a try and let me know if it is working for you?

  Please let me know if you run into any problems and I’ll also look into what is causing this.

  billh93 — thanks for your help :)

  Hi

  I’ve had the same issue with my blog (on the post https://diywardrobe.co.uk/2017/11/07/curated-closet-part-2-inspiration/)

  Switching the Pinterest URL to .com rather than .co.uk worked for me as well.
