Hi,
We can see, it is sharing the image from the webpage where icons are located.

Yes, it shares image from the post. However, if you check the sharing link, it includes only homepage link but not the post link.
See this link:
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?url=<strong>https%3A%2F%2Fworkmoneyfun.com%2F</strong>&media=https%3A%2F%2Fworkmoneyfun.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F10%2Fdisaster-preparedness.jpg&h=466&w=700&description=How%20well%20are%20you%20prepared%20to%20face%20natural%20disasters%3F%20Get%20yourself%20equipped%20with%20disaster%20preparedness%20kit%20to%20survive%20any%20kind%20of%20catastrophe%20anytime.
In above link, it is sharing ONLY the homepage link (bold). Whereas it should have included the post link (https://workmoneyfun.com/disaster-preparedness-kit-giveaway/).
So whenever someone clicks on the pinned image in Pinterest, it takes them to homepage instead of that specific blog post.
Pinterest script picks the url automatically. Do you remember making any other relevant changes after moving to https? If it was working before, it should work now too.
There is no problem with shared URLs for other social media networks except Pinterest.
I have not done any changes after moving to https. Only plugin I had installed was Really Simple SSL. However, before moving to https, I had deactivated Yoast and instead activated The SEO Framework plugin.
You can try activating Yoast again.
Activated Yoast but still problem in Pinterest.
I installed another sharing plugin (Genesis Simple Share) to test. Post URL sharing is working fine for Pinterest with that plugin.

I installed another sharing plugin (Genesis Simple Share) to test. Post URL sharing is working fine for Pinterest with that plugin.
As you can see, this plugin is forcing Pin button to grab a particular image from the webpage. Our plugin pulls all the images present at the webpage.
Problem seems related to the og:url tag. Though there is that tag with the url of the webpage where Pinterest share icon is positioned, there is duplicate tag with its value set as homepage url.
Remove following meta tag from the HTML source of your webpages:
<meta property="og:url" content="https://workmoneyfun.com/" />
Then try Pinterest share from our plugin.
Removed meta tag and it’s working fine now. However, I am confused if the removed meta tag is required or not by facebook/other plugins.
As mentioned in the reply, that was a duplicate meta tag. Correct value (url of the particular webpage) is already there. Duplicate meta tag is not of any use.
