Widget changing my Pinterest share button

    Hi,
    The plug-in works great, but I’m using the Profile Widget in the side bar of my posts and now the normal Pinterest share button I have below each of my posts changed to the standard “Pin It” button. I have all my social share buttons designed to match my theme so I don’t want the standard “Pin It” share button.

    I tried to check “Disable output of pinit.js, the JavaScript file for all widgets from Pinterest” but that results in the complete removal of the widget.

    Please let me know if there’s anything else I can try. Thanks! 🙂

    Hello,

    Would you mind posting a page/post/URL where you have both widgets active?

    It maybe simply be that the two plugins are incompatible. But we’ve designed our two plugins (Widgets and “Pin It” Button) to be compatible with each other.

    Hello,

    I have the same problem. I show you a post where you can see the issue, here. Thank you!

    Unfortunately it sounds like the two plugins won’t work together out of the box. Any plugin that embeds Pinterest’s pinit.js file from their widget builder, such as this plugin, will overwrite any button that’s attempting to open up a window for the user to pin something from the site.

    Bottom line: This could probably be fixed but you’d need to code tweaks.

    Hi dopzihon, just bringing a fix that was posted on stackoverflow:

    Change this:
    http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=
    To this:
    http://pinterest.com/pin/create/link/?url=

    So, a complete URL might simply look like this:

    <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/link/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fkentbrew%2F6851755809%2F&media=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm8.staticflickr.com%2F7027%2F6851755809_df5b2051c9_z.jpg&description=Next%20stop%3A%20Pinterest">Pin it</a>

    I changed a couple of my theme’s files and it worked.

    Good luck 🙂
