  How do I manage to display my Pinterest button? Every time I paste the html into a text widget and save, the html changes so that only a sentence appears on the blog page and not the Pinterest link button?

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

  Hi there. Can you please paste the html you’re using between code tags (backtics) here so we can check if there’s a problem with the code itself.

  If you’re using the JavaScript button it won’t work, and you’ll have to create your own using an image widget.

  Thank you – it must be Java Script, so guess I now will learn to make an image widget! Thanks.

  I can help you with that: Find an image you want to use as the button. Upload the image to your media library, and past the resulting URL into the appropriate field of the widget.

  Then copy the URL of your Pinterest profile into the Link To field.
