  Is there a way yet to get a Pin It button on my images for my food blog? I know there is a Pinterest button at the bottom of my post but I would love my readers to be able to click on a Pin It button when they hover over my photos so they can pin it that way. Thanks for any help.

  I’m so sorry but there isn’t a way to add it onto all images. I will add this to our suggestion list though!

  Thanks for the quick reply. This is such an important tool for a food blogger. It’s so disappointing it can’t be done. Thanks for adding it to the suggestion list! Mary Ann

  Hi,

  I just wanted to add (and I’m not sure how) but there is a ‘pin it’ button on each of my images. However(!) if you move the mouse to go click on it, it disappears! So frustrating. Any ideas what’s happening?

  Many thanks!

  Hi Anna…I went to your site but I did not see the PinIt button show up on your photos. Not sure what’s happening. I really wish I could get that PinIt button for my site. It would really help boost views on my site and give me a better presence on Pinterest! Thanks for replying…Mary Ann

  Interestingly I checked my site (after you said you didn’t see the pin it buttons) on a Safari browser, in stead of my firefox, and they are gone. Maybe its a firefox thing, and not a blog thing. But you would think a pin it button would be on the forefront of blog developers minds! People do pin my stuff, but they are probably doing so manually. Like you, i’d like to make it easy for my readers.
  Best wishes,
  Anna

  Good news! We were able to get the “Pin it” hover button added. The feature is auto-enabled if you go to Settings > Sharing and use the “Official buttons” option for the button style setting.
