Always Visible Pin It Button for Pinterest
The Pin It Button That Never Hides
Most Pinterest plugins make readers hover to find the save button. On phones — where most of your traffic is — there is no hover. Visitors never see it, you never get the pin. This one keeps the button visible on every image, every device, every time. Free on WordPress.org.
Each Pro license covers 1 site.
You're Losing Pins You Don't Even Know About
Pinterest is one of the biggest traffic drivers for food blogs, recipe sites, design publications, and visual creators. But most Pinterest plugins make one assumption that quietly kills their value: they only show the Pin It button when a reader hovers over an image.
Over 60% of web traffic comes from phones — and there is no hover on a touchscreen. Your mobile readers never see the Pin It button. They scroll past your best images without ever knowing they could save them. You don't see the missed pins because they were never there to begin with.
This plugin keeps the button visible on every qualifying image, every time. Desktop users see it the moment they land. Mobile users tap once and pin. The result: more visibility, more pins, more inbound Pinterest traffic — without changing a thing about how you write or design.
It plays nice with the caching plugins you already use, skips your ads and video thumbnails on its own, and gives you fine control over which images get the button. See all my WordPress plugins or jump to the feature list below.

How This WordPress Pinterest Plugin Works
Pinterest Pin It Button Plugin — FAQ
Does this plugin work on mobile?
Yes — that's the main advantage. Since the button is always visible, mobile and tablet users can pin your images without needing to hover. Most Pinterest plugins fail on mobile because they rely on hover events.
Will it slow down my site?
No. The plugin loads only on single post and page views — never on your homepage, archives, or admin. It makes no external API calls, ships almost no CSS and JavaScript, and stays out of the way of WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, and other caching plugins automatically. You will not see it in a Lighthouse report.
Does it work with WP Rocket and other caching plugins?
Yes. The plugin automatically excludes its JS and CSS from minification and combination by WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, SG Optimizer, and Autoptimize. No configuration needed.
Will it add buttons to my ads or video embeds?
No. The plugin automatically detects and skips images inside ad containers (Google AdSense, Mediavine, Ezoic, AdThrive, and more) and video embeds (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.).
Can I choose which images get the button?
Yes. You can filter by orientation (horizontal, vertical, square), set minimum width and height thresholds, exclude specific images with a CSS class, and in the Pro version exclude by category, tag, author, or page.
What's the difference between Free and Pro?
Free covers everything you need to start getting more pins — always-visible button, full targeting, full styling. Pro is for when you want to know which images actually earn pins (analytics, CSV export, UTM tracking in Google Analytics), test which button design wins (A/B testing), match your brand instead of stock Pinterest red (custom colors), and add the button to WooCommerce products or other custom post types.
How does the A/B testing work?
Choose what to test (position, size, color, or shape), pick two variants, and set a duration (7, 14, or 30 days). The plugin randomly shows each variant to visitors and tracks clicks. After the test period, it shows you the winner with click rates.
Does it work with Gutenberg?
Yes. It works with the WordPress block editor, classic editor, and standard content output from any theme.
