   So I just installed this nifty Pinterest plugin but it's showing up on my pages as well as my posts http://blog.lizstabbertphoto.com/about/ There isn't an option to remove it from pages in the plugin settings unfortunately. How can I go about this?

   That plugin adds the button to the_content via add_filter.

   Try this: Create a new file called remove-pin-it.php and put it in the wp-content/plugins directory.

   In that file put these lines.

   <?php
   /*
   Plugin Name: Remove Pinterest Button from Pages
   */
   
   add_filter( 'the_content' , 'liz_remove_pin_it_button' , 30 );
   function liz_remove_pin_it_button( $content ) {
   if ( is_page() ) {
      remove_filter("the_content", "add_pin_it_button");
   }

   Go into your Dashboard and activate that plugin. It should check if the_content is inside a page and remove the Pinterest button from pages only.

   If something goes Really Wrong™ then just delete that new file remove-pin-it.php.

   That gave me a blank page and the error
   "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/content/59/6174659/html/blog/wp-content/plugins/remove-pin-it.php on line 10" until I deleted the file :-o

   Whoops, did I screw that up, sorry. I'll make up for that. :)

   I just installed the Pinterest plugin on my Crash Test Dummy blog and came up with this fix.

   <?php
   /*
   Plugin Name: Remove Pinterest Button from Pages
   */
   
   add_action( 'loop_start' , 'liz_remove_pin_it_button' );
   function liz_remove_pin_it_button() {
      if ( is_page() ) {
         remove_filter("the_content", "add_pin_it_button");
      }
   }

   Before I was trying to remove a filter from within the content that the filter was being applied. That won't work.

   ...Also I left off a closing } which caused that error...

   This new one worked for me and should work for you too. It only removes the button on pages and nothing else.
