Description

Adds a Pinterest “Pin It” button to images on your site, with eye catching hover effects.

Hover Pin-It allows you to customize:

  • Position of the Pinterest button
  • Style of the Pinterest button
  • Whether Pinterest button appears on posts, pages, the home page, or any combination of the three
  • Whether to include the pin count
  • The smallest image size a Pinterest button should be placed on (useful to stop the button from appearing on thumbnails)
  • Choose the page title or the image alt text as the pin description

See the plugin in action at Redomestication.
