I can second this issue. Pinterest counts have not been displaying since Sunday.
Still haven’t heard anything..
Ditto. Been almost a couple weeks now.
Yup mine are broken too. I’m going to start trying some other share button plugins to see if the counts on any of them work.
Been over a month. Pinterest count issue still not responded to.
Hi guys,
I had this problem too and couldnt find a fix anywhere but i finally found an answer:
Simply change this (in the simple-share-buttons-adder.php):
$htmlPinterestShareDetails = file_get_contents('http://api.pinterest.com/v1/urls/count.json?callback=&url=' . $urlCurrentPage);
$htmlPinterestShareDetails = str_replace('(', '', $htmlPinterestShareDetails);
$htmlPinterestShareDetails = str_replace(')', '', $htmlPinterestShareDetails);
to this:
$htmlPinterestShareDetails = file_get_contents('http://api.pinterest.com/v1/urls/count.json?url=' . $urlCurrentPage);
$htmlPinterestShareDetails = str_replace('receiveCount(', '', $htmlPinterestShareDetails);
$htmlPinterestShareDetails = str_replace(')', '', $htmlPinterestShareDetails);
Worked for me… after much head scratching…
Worked brilliantly – thanks, Crookedmicks! I actually tried hacking that file myself to return a Pinterest count a month or two ago. Really appreciate it this.
THANK YOU! This worked perfect for me!
Crookedmicks – you’re a star. Your method worked a treat. Thank you so much! Elle from http://www.spainbuddy.com
