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
