Pinning post doesn’t display image

    Hi! I can’t pin images or posts from my own website. Instead, it displays text where the image should be on the pinterest board. I’ve tried in Chrome and Safari with the same result.
    If I click the pin it button on an image, it first comes up with the image correctly along with the boards to chose from. When I click save to pin it and then click “see it now”, it displays the Alt text in the image box, instead of the image. If I then navigate directly to the board to see the pin, the same text shows up at the top of the image box.
    If I instead click the pinterest share button at the bottom of a blog post, the same thing happens, but instead of the Alt text, it displays the post title, and still no image when I’ve saved the pin (but still shows the image before I click “save”).
    I’ve not installed a pinterest sharing plugin, but just use what came with WordPress and I have the pin it applet installed on my computer.
    Is anyone able to help with this please? Thanks a million!

    Hi there,
    I am having this same issue which I posted about late last night. I still haven’t got a response though. Mine seems to be affecting only my new posts since Jan 1st, Everything before the new year still pins normally. All the images from my two newest blog posts come up as broken when I pin them but like you they seem fine with the image as I hit save. I don’t notice the issue until I go back to my Pinterest board to check. This is happening from several computers, my iPad, and my iPhone. I hope they might be able to tell how to fix this because I use Pinterest for my blog daily as it is my main source of traffic.

    I should have checked before posting above but I just pinned a few images from your page and they worked fine, so I went and checked mine and they seem back in running order.

    How strange! Thanks for letting me know you have the same issue. I just tried pinning from your site to my pinterest, and that works too. So it seems it’s an issue with our own websites. Let me know if you hear back! What’s the URL for your question thread please? Great website by the way! I lived in Montreal for a few years and miss it like crazy! We now live back in the UK
