Pinning blog post picture to Pinterest

    I am a new blogger and am trying to pin my blog post pictures to my own personal Pinterest board. I have no problem doing that. However, when click on the pinned picture, it shows WordPress.com, not my blog URL. I want Pinterest users to see my pinned photo and click on my URL as I want to bring traffic to my blog. Is there a way to do this?

    For years I had a self-hosted wordpress blog and I never had to deal with this issue. I cannot figure out a way to show my blog’s URL in my Pinterest display.

    Thank you for your help.

    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).

    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. It’s as easy as pie. ;)

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