Auto Post from WordPress to Pinterest – Free WordPress Plugin
WP-Pinner is a new WordPress plugin that’s currently in beta, which allows you to auto-post images from WordPress to Pinterest, Schedule Future Pins, Auto-Follow users and keep track of your account’s metrics such as CTR, clicks, likes, repins, reach, etc. Pinterest has grown to become a big source of traffic for some blogs now so you should be using it to grow your blog. Lets take a look at this plugin and see how it can help.
WP Pinner is currently in beta but the first 25 WPLift readers can get in the next round by signing up with this link:
Install The Plugin
Download the plugin, then in your WordPress admin, visit “Plugins” > “Add New” > “Upload” and upload the file.
Activate the plugin and you will see a new menu item under called “WP Pinner”
Configure The Plugin
Under the “WP Pinner” menu, the first thing to do is visit “Settings” and enter your Pinterest account details and choose whether to enable the plugin on posts or pages or both, enter a description and choose whether the plugin should post your homepage URL,the URL of the page its on or a custom URL.
Note: Make sure to enter your Pinterest username, not email here to avoid any errors
Add a Post
On your post writing screen you will see a new meta box in the sidebar with the options to “post on publish” choose one of your boards to post to, a box to enter a description and when you add any images, these appear – tick the one you want to post.
Once the post has been published – If you visit your board on Pinterest you will see the image has been added :
See Your Pins and Stats
If you visit the “Pins” link in the WP Pinner menu, you will see all your pinned images listed here along with various stats such as clicks, likes and repins.
Conclusion
This is a really easy plugin to use, I did have a small problem because I entered my Pinterest email to login and it let me login but wouldnt post – just make sure you use your username to login with. I like anything that makes life easier and this will definately do that – Im going to go add it to WPLift and go back pinning some old posts to see if I get much traffic from Pinterest – Any new traffic source is definately welcome!

Many people like Pinterest. Launch own Pinterest clone very easy with https://uniprogy.com/pinnect
Never going to be released. The only thing that works is https://pinterestmagic.net – the rest is vapourware or broken. This is mos’ definitely vapourware, thankyouverymuch.
I don’t get it. registered on the site but once again, never received the download link. :)
It’s been 11 days, I registered within seconds of your post. How do I get a copy? Is this just a scam for email addresses like fluffy said?
How did you get past this error?

Basically everything connects, but no matter what picture I choose to pin, I end up with that error. The author is aware of the problem. I’d just like to know how you managed to get by the problem
would rather use something that works called “WPAutoPin” – download onhttps://scriptsmate.com/wpautopin-post-to-pinterest-from-your-wordpress-site
Nice post, actually i need to publish on multiple boards, but publish on one board is also quite good right now.
