This add-on for Shared Counts allows you to share a different image on Pinterest.
Shared Counts uses the post's featured image for sharing across all platforms. But given the unique display of images on Pinterest, it's useful to specify a separate, Pinterest-only image that's formatted for that service.
This plugin will only work if Shared Counts is active. It does not work with any other social sharing plugins.
- Download the plugin from GitHub. or from WordPress.org.
- Activate plugin.
- When editing a post, use the "Pinterest Sharing Image" metabox in the sidebar (see screenshot).
By default the Pinterest Sharing Image box is only added to posts, but you can use a filter to add support for other post types.
The following code will add the box to pages. Add it to your theme's functions.php file or a Core Functionality plugin.
