  Hey,
  I’m trying to locate the plugins to add the hover image plugin to my blog. I click on Plugin and it is SUPER limited in what I can choose. Then I go to your support forum and ‘Plugins’ and there are tons of plugins there. I tried ‘downloading’ the plugin from webizar and now they are telling me to ‘1. Upload the entire **pinterest-pin-it-button-on-image-hover-and-post** folder to the **/wp-content/plugins/** directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress admin.’

  Any way you can help? Please! I am desperate!

  The only code that will work for Pinterest site verification of a wordpress.com blog is described here https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#pinterest-site-verification and you must be logged into Pinterest when you are trying to verify?

  The Pinterest “Pin It” hover button will automatically appear on your WordPress.com blog if you have added Pinterest as a sharing button on your Settings > Sharing page and if you are also using the “Official buttons” for the style of the buttons (you can change it on that same settings page). https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/

  We can hover over any image in a post and pin it if we are logged into Pinterest. If you have enabled the official buttons for sharing, a “Pin It” hover button will automatically appear for your images. https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/ All we do after clicking the share button is choose one of the images displayed in the post to pin.

  See how to install the Pinterest browser button:
  Google Chrome
  Mozilla Firefox
  Internet Explorer
  Safari
  Microsoft Edge

  Also, note that you can embed from Pinterest https://en.support.wordpress.com/embed-from-pinterest/
  And here’s the Sharing link https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/

  Rich Pins aren’t officially supported by WordPress.COM a workaround is here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/pinterest-rich-pin-validator?replies=5#post-2904553
