  Apologies if this is a stupid question but how do I add a ‘Pin It’ button for Pinterest onto my blog?!

  Hi! To add a ‘Pin It’ button, go to sharing. At the top you should see ‘connections’ and ‘sharing buttons’. Choose ‘sharing buttons’. Under the preview window, click edit sharing buttons. There you will find Pinterest. You can click to add it as well as reorder however you choose! Save your changes and you should be good to go!

  The only code that will work for Pinterest site verification of a wordpress.comblog 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).

  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

  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/

  You’re welcome. :) I have only one request to make. If you want to refer to my responses in future threads you answer please backlink to them only. Please do not copy and paste them into threads because if you do there will be an identity issue with Akimet.
