Custom Pinterest Image

    Hey guys,

    I’ve been looking for a way to select an Open Graph image for Pinterest but can’t find a setting for that. Since Pinterest uses quite different image styles for pins than Facebook for posts and so on, I would like to choose a different image than the featured image for a rich pin. I see a setting for a custom Twitter Image, so why is there none for Pinterest? Am I missing something here?

    I also validated our site for Rich Pins but when I add a Pin on Pinterest and choose the website URL I get to choose which image (from the ones on the site) I want to use for the Pin which is not exactly what I want.

    Is there a solution for this without installing another plugin?

    Cheers.

    Facebook and Pinterest use the same OG:image tag (<meta property="og:image">) so you can’t use a different image for each platform. Twitter on the other hand uses its own tags (<meta name="twitter:image">).
