  How do I get Pinterest to use the description I want it to use rather than just the words at the start of the blog post? I have added the description I want to the caption, alt text and description boxes of the images in this blog post, and also added it to the excerpt box, updated the post but Pinterest is still picking up the first paragraph. This is the blog post address

  Hi @everydaykindoflife, unless someone is linking just to the attachment page for an image, I think Pinterest is going to pick the page or post description, rather than just an image description.

  If you want more control over that, you might try setting an excerpt for the post or page instead:
