Pinterest on free wp – rich pins
-
Hiya, I’d like to link my Pinterest to my blog for rich pins. Firstly, do I have to upgrade to a paid website to do this or can I do it on my free WordPress blog? Secondly, if I don’t have to upgrade, where would I need to put the Pinterest code to verify my details with Pinterest? Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I will post all that is available for wordpress.COM hosted sites regardless of upgrades below.
The only code that will work for Pinterest site verification of a wordpress.com blog 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
