Does your WordPress website have a Pinterest Widget? A Pinterest Widget is a box that displays your latest pins and allows website visitors to click on the tab “Follow On Pinterest” and go straight to your Pinterest account. My Pinterest widget is posted on my sidebar. It is an awesome way to increase Pinterest followers. Below, I have shared with you how to add your own Pinterest Widget to your WordPress blog or website.
Step 1 – Click on this link to go to the Pinterest Widget Builder Tool.
Step 2 – Where it says “Pinterest User URL” (see image below)… replace that link with your Pinterest URL.
Please check to see if your Showit site comes with a Sidebar. Some Showit sites do not. If you are not sure then please contact the designer of your Showit site. They can answer that question for you.
Step 1 – Click on your “Sidebar” canvas. Then add an “Embed Code” to your sidebar.
Step 2 – Move the “Embed Code” where you want it to go on your sidebar. You may need to adjust the width and height especially if your Pinterest widget is tall.
Step 3 – Copy both codes from Pinterest then paste them in the “Embed Code” widget. You should see your Pinterest Widget now. Click “Publish” then view your site.
Step 1 – Copy the code where it says “Copy and paste this code into your page where you want your add-on to appear:”.
Step 2 – Next, log in to your WordPress site dashboard.
Step 3 – Click on “Appearance” then “Widgets”.
Step 4 – Click on “Custom HTML” then chose “Primary Sidebar”.
Step 5 – Paste the Pinterest code then click “Save”.

Step 2 – Go back to your WordPress site dashboard.
Step 3 – Click on “Appearance” then “Customize”.
Step 4 – Click on “Theme Settings” then “Header/Footer Scripts”.
Step 5 – Paste the code in the “Footer Scripts” box then click “Publish”.
Step 1 – Copy the code where it says: “Don’t forget to include pinit.js once per page, right before the closing </BODY> tag.”.
Step 2 – Go back to your WordPress site dashboard.

Step 4 – Search for Insert Headers and Footers by WPBeginner.
Step 5 – Click “Install” then “Activate”.
Step 6 – After activating, go to “Settings” then “Insert Headers and Footers”. After that, paste the code that you copied earlier into the “Scripts in Footer” section.
