Images Not Posting To Pinterest

In the past couple of days, I am unable to get pinterest to post images from FAA or Pixels. Three of four recent posts have not posted them. I thought maybe it was something about the bit.ly link but using unshortened links did not fix it.

Has something changed in the past couple of days?

Is anyone else seeing the same?

I was successful for all of 5 minutes when I set up my account 2 weeks ago-Since then, no luck. Keeps wanting me to start over, i guess-Doesn't seem to remember anything. Good luck.

MIke, that's strange. When you set up your Pinterest account, you have the option of using your Facebook or Google+ or twitter account, or good ol' email. If you set it up using the info from anything other than email, for instance Facebook, you need to be logged in to Facebook before you can log in to Pinterest. Do you think this might be the problem?
I would suspect if you used of them (FB, G+ or Twitter ) and were not logged in to your chosen service. Pinterest would not recognize your login info and send you through account creation again. This is just a hunch.

If that is not the case, Pinterest's help site might be of assistance...

Hope this is helpful! Good luck! Pinterest is worth the effort!

Missing image problem resolved. My conclusions... the Pinterest buttons on the FAA profile pages or image pages work!

I have used several methods of creating pins that have worked... until now. I am not sure exactly what has changed. but I was using a method I have used before, that does not work now. Even using the "create pin" in Pinterest itself, using recommended image aspect ratios and image sizes did not show the image I uploaded.

I have noticed that the product shown on the pins to defaults to Greeting Cards...If I don't want to promote cards, I grab the link to the desired product and edit the pin. After a few seconds the titles update and the product title corrects itself.

I guess I learned something today --- sometimes the easy way is the best way.
