With Simply Pinterest make it easy and obvious your visitors should share your content without adding additional work to your blogging workflow.
This plugin adds a Pin It button call to action over your each image in your post to prompt visitors to Pin your content. The window to save your content to their board is in a pop-up so they never leave your site. The button uses the default Pinterest button that users identify with sharing their favorite content across the web. You can customize how the plugin is applied to your site with counts, colors & many other settings.
You can see more, including a video trailer of the plugin at SimplyPinterest.com
Battling Bad Source URLs
Even when the Pinterest button is triggered from your home page, search or archives the Pin is credited to the permalink page of your content automatically. This way the traffic comes to the page they were looking for straight from Pinterest.
Customize Settings
This plugin does the following:
- Choose whether to show the Pin it button when a user hovers over your images or always. You can even override your default settings for specific images!
- Lets you to customize the Pin it button color between Pinterest red, white & gray
- Allows you to choose the button size (small or large) & position of the count bubble
- Respects the same
no-pin="nopin"attribute for your image tags, the same convention Pinterest uses, making it easy to prevent images you don't want Pinned from being Pinned - Customize what page types the button displays on, choose home page, posts, pages, archives and search
- Further control letting you prevent a specific page or post from having the pin it button over the images
- Detailed control letting you prevent individual images from having the Pin it button over it
- Uses the permalink to credit your content even from the home page, archives and search!
If you're looking for an easy way to pin images in your blog posts and pages, this plugin will help you with that. It highlights images and adds a "Pin it" button over them once the user hovers his mouse over an image. Once the user clicks the "Pin it" button, the plugin shows a pop-up window with the image and a description. Everything is ready for pinning, although the user can alter the description.
Coming Soon
Here's a couple ideas that are being built/tested for future updates!
- Setting improvments (lighter HTML, faster load time)
- Common plugin and theme support
- Additional setting adjustments for individual images. I hear you love the defaults but sometimes there's a certain image that needs it's own customization!
