Pintrest Pro: Why is my Pinterest button for images not showing?
Popular Reasons Why the Pinterest Pro Button May Not Show #
- Your Images Have Lazy Loading – Lazy loading is a popular optimization technique that speeds up page loading times. However, if you’re using the Pinterest scanner, it may not detect images that appear later. To resolve this, enable the option “My Images Have Lazy Loading”.
- Image Dimensions Are Smaller Than Default Sizes – The Pinterest Pro image scanner uses a default size of 300x300px for images. Sometimes, due to design, an image may appear smaller in width or height and be automatically excluded. To fix this, adjust the minimum sizes for desktop and/or mobile. For desktop, we recommend setting both fields to 200. For mobile, a minimum of 150 should be sufficient.
- Custom Content Structure – Pinterest Pro uses various techniques to detect the content structure and limits its focus to images within the content. If you’re using a custom theme with a different structure, you may need to adjust the selector in the Custom Image Selector field. If you encounter any issues, please open a support ticket at https://my.socialsharingplugin.com, and we’ll be happy to assist.
- JavaScript Error on the Website – The Pinterest Pro button uses JavaScript to scan content and select images for sharing. This method is flexible and works with any content builder or plugin. However, if a JavaScript error occurs on the website—due to another plugin or theme—the scanner may stop working. You can easily identify this by opening the browser console and looking for red error messages.
