DATA PIN DESCRIPTION NOT WORKING

#42663
  • Resolved Vanessa Ball

    I’ve been adding the Pinterest data descriptions into my code and it was working fine. I was previously using Yoast and switched to RankMath yesterday, now the data-pin-description is not pulling through to Pinterest and isn’t even pulling in the alt tag. The title and pin ID seems to work ok. I’m using Sumo as my social sharing, is there a conflict with RankMath? I’m out of ideas, can you help?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    There might be a conflict if you social sharing plugin is also adding some Opengraph tags to your pages since Rank Math will add these tags by default.

    I can suggest that you disable Rank Math OG tags by copying this code on your theme’s functions.php file:

    /**
     * Hook to remove og:tags
     */
    add_action( 'rank_math/head', function() {
    	remove_all_actions( 'rank_math/opengraph/facebook' );
    	remove_all_actions( 'rank_math/opengraph/twitter' );
    });
    

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    I’ve actually changed my social share plugin today and it has the option to specify data pin description – now it seems to work again. Do I still need to add this code?

    Hi Vanessa,

    Thanks for the follow up.

    I am glad that this is working!
    It would be useful to keep this code since double OG tags might cause an issue in future.

    I hope this helps 🙂

    I have now tried to pin on a page where I haven’t added the data pin descriptions in html and it is not working so think I need to add this code. I can see the functions.php file – If I send the current code to you, can you help me slot in correctly so I don’t make any problems for my site?

    Hi Vanessa,

    Thank you for the reply.

    You only need to copy and paste this snippet at the bottom of your functions.php file before the closing ?> if it exists, if it doesn’t just paste the code at the bottom and it will work.

    If you face any problems, you can upload your file to Google Drive and then share the link on the sensitive data section so that I can help in modifying it.

    We are looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hi

    I’ve added to a Word doc – will you check it is ok for i add to my site? Do I need to leave 2 lines after the last part of the code or does it not matter?

    Sorry about the basic questions, just never touched this part of the site.

    Many thanks

    OK, I haven’t added it yet. I will go ahead and do this and inform you should I still have an issue. I will create some new pins tomorrow and test this.

    Thank you so much – the support with RankMath is awesome by the way!

    I added the code and created a new pin on my website adding the pin description into Grow by MediaVine plugin and when I pinned to Pinterest it is still bringing in the alt tag not the pin description added to the social media plugin. I have created a temporary password and added to the ‘Sensitive area’ for you to assist.

    Hi Vanessa,

    The link to Google drive doesn’t work. It is saying we don’t have access.

    Also, I checked a few URLs from your website here:
    https://developers.pinterest.com/tools/url-debugger/

    I couldn’t see any evident issues. Do you mind telling where the issue is?
