Overview #
The Pinterest button in the Easy Social Share Buttons for WordPress has a different set of modes. You can adjust the button behavior using the Sharing → Global Network Options → Pinterest.
Show Image Grid (default) #
The Grid option allows visitors to select images from your site and share them on Pinterest. You can choose between two grid display modes:
- Show All Pinnable Images (default)
- Show Only Pinterest Images
Show All Pinnable Images #
In this mode, when a visitor clicks the Pinterest button, a grid will appear showing all content images that can be pinned.
This includes:
- The main Pinterest image you’ve set
- Any hidden Pinterest images (set manually)
- Other visible content images on the page
Visitors can browse the grid and choose which image to share.
Show Only Pinterest Images #
In this mode, the Pinterest button will display a grid, but it will only include:
- Your designated Pinterest image
- Any hidden Pinterest images you’ve configured
This setup gives you more control over which images can be shared to Pinterest.
Share Post Image #
When using this mode, visitors will be limited to sharing only the Pinterest image you’ve configured for the post.
No image grid will appear.
This mode also allows you to:
- Set a specific Pin ID
- Make the button perform the Re-Pin function directly
It’s a simple and controlled way to manage how your content is shared on Pinterest.
To set up the image, open a post/page in edit mode and scroll down till you see the Easy Social Share Buttons for WordPress settings.
Hidden Pinterest Images #
When you use the image grid mode of the Pinterest button there will be another drop down to select the pin of all images or only hidden images.
On each post in the Pinterest settings of Easy Social Share Buttons for WordPress you will see a new field to select the unlimited custom hidden Pinterest images. The images will be added automatically when you are using the Image Grid sharing mode.
