Yes, make your own “Pin it” button. Another way to add a personal touch to your Website. When a viewer hovers over an image, it will change slightly and a “Pin It” button appears {i.e. near the top right corner}. I have tried a few other Plugins and attempted to change the codes on the others before I discovered this plugin by Marcin Skrzpiez for WordPress. It was surprisingly easy to install and customize. Follow the next few steps and a new custom “Pin it” button will be up and running.
.
Steps to install the plugin {WordPress.org}
Go to your WordPress Dashboard > ①Plugins > ②Add New > ③type the following name in Search field, “jQuery Pin it Button For Images” by Marcin Skrzpiec > ④Click Install and Activate the plugin > Refresh your website to see the new “Pin it” button > Done {if you don’t want to customize the “Pin it” button}.
.
Steps to Customize the “Pin it” button & More …
Go to your WordPress Dashboard > ⑤Settings > ⑥JQuery Pin it Button For Images > ⑦check the box, “Use custom image” > ⑧click “Upload an image using media library”.
.
⑨select an image from Media Library or Upload Files from your computer {to be stored in your Media Library}> ⑩click the button “Use as ‘Pin it’ button” > ⑪Save Changes > Refresh computer screen > Done.
.
Have fun trying out the other options in Settings {i.e. where to place the “Pin it” button, transparency of the image when you hover over it and when to disable the button}.

Custom “Pin it” Buttons
Try one of these simple “Pin it” buttons I created for you to use. They are free, just grab it and store the image on your computer then upload it to your website (step ⑧).

Thank you for the info on this Plugin! I was looking for one that added the “Pin it” button over photos and never could find it!
I’m glad I could help.

You’re welcome Jayme. I like the custom ‘Pin it’ button you used on the website.
How did I miss this post??? I just looked at the date and the reason is because I was out of town. I am definitely going to try to add one of your pin it buttons to my site. Thanks tons and tons. I’m always amazed by your posts and photos.
Can’t wait to see it on your website.
