  A recent commenter mentioned she had Pinned a photo from one of my galleries. (I’m not worried about this random Pin.)

  I thought I had disabled any sharing buttons for media, including Likes, and ReBlogs. I have never included Pinterest as a sharing option on any page, post or media.

  My Settings:
  http://thinspiralnotebook.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/screen-shot-2014-08-05-at-8-05-27-pm.png

  Media:
  http://thinspiralnotebook.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/screen-shot-2014-08-05-at-8-06-08-pm.png

  As you can see, on my laptop the sharing box is cut off. The same cut off sharing box is also visible on my main home computer.

  I am using Safari 10.9.3. The photo in question is included in a gallery. If needed, I can include a link to the post and/or photo.

  Do I have my settings correct to disable sharing options on media files? Is it possible to disable reblogging on media? Am I missing something obvious?

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

  Hi there,
  There also is a ‘Pin This’ button or something that anyone can install on their browser–usually on the browser’s toolbar. It allows people to pin pages that don’t necessarily have a ‘Pin This’ button available.

  It’s probably considered bad form to pin something without permission, but it’s possible.

  I wondered if that may be the issue, @dannywellman, but the commenter said she saw the Pin It buttons. So it wasn’t clear if it was her own site’s button, or something on mine.

  I just poked around your site a bit and I didn’t see a Pin It button anywhere. If you could get the commenter to provide a screenshot, that would be great, but that’s probably a long shot. :)

  I did just find this from Pinterest’s site: http://help.pinterest.com/en/articles/prevent-pinning-your-site

  However, you can’t edit the element on wordpress.COM sites.

  Maybe a No Pin option would be a nice add-on for future WordPress.COM features!

  Let me know if you have any more questions.

  I meant:

  …..you can’t edit the head element….
