Can't connect with Pinterest

[gf@visionline.dk]

I'm trying to connect to Pinterest without any luck.
I've connected to FaceBook, LinkedIn and Instagram and it works fine.

Im trying to connect and it comes up wit a fail message. Install extension instead.
I did that. Both on Firefox and Chrome, and then I try again. A window opens where I can log in and after I log in, the login window disappears. And still no connection.

Any idea on how to solve this?

Gitte

Hello Gitte,

Thank you for reaching out and thanks for describing your request.
I checked the case for you and tested connecting a Pinterest testing account in Blog2Social, and so far I was unable to reproduce any issue related to the browser extension.

After the failed login the popup opens as regular and after clicking on the button the process finishes as expected showing this notice:
“Connect with Pinterest
Login up successful. Please confirm that Blog2Social is allowed to publish on your profile.”

In the step that should be displayed, you need to select the pin board that you want to connect in Blog2Social.
After confirming, the popup closes and the connection is shown in the network overview.

You should try to connect your account in a web browser which has no active Pinterest account session or saved credentials which the browser could use to auto sign in the background that could lead to a fail.

The browser extension could be used with Google Chrome or Firefox. Make sure it is up-to-date, or try re-installing it.

Please be so kind as to retest this case as recommended or make sure that you remove your current authorized device from your Pinterest account, so you could avoid the auto sign in/redirect.

Feel free to let me know if these solutions solved your request, or if you require further assistance regarding this matter.
I am looking forward to your reply.

Best regards
Alexander

Hello Gitte,

Thank you for your reply and thanks for providing the requested screenshots.

Please log in with your Pinterest email and password only (no login with Facebook/ no special characters in password: {}^[]~ )
Also, please make sure that your Pinterest account has at least one pinboard on which a picture has already been pinned.

Please note: To connect Blog2Social with your Pinterest account and be able to use it, it is important that WP-JSON is activated.
What WP-JSON is and where you can see if it is active can be seen in the following FAQ:
System requirements for installing Blog2Social

Please be so kind as to retest the account connection after enabling this option in your WordPress environment.

Thank you for your effort and understanding.
I am looking forward to your reply.

Best regards

Hi again 🙂

I visited that page already, but I can't find anything about WP-JSON on the page. I even tried to make a page search for the word JSON in case i missed it, but nothing comes up.

The rest of your advices are followed, but with no luck. So I can imagine it might be the JSON, but can't find info on that on the mentioned page.

Thanks,

Gitte

Hello Gitte,

Thank you for your reply and thanks for this feedback.

The recommended FAQ article about the Blog2Social system requirements has no direct topic about the “wp-json” but it also explains how to use the trouble shooting tool to see the current status.

If you want to see if the WordPress REST API is enabled, the best way to check is to visit this URL: https://yoursite.com/wp-json.
In your case: https://dev.visionline.dk/wp-json



If you see some information which seems related to your WordPress REST API, it works. If you see something, it means that, at least, your WordPress REST API is enabled.
Currently, it looks like this is disabled on your WordPress installation.

Due to the fact that this can be configured in multiple optimization plugins or security plugins, I am afraid that I am unable to give you an exact instruction where you can locate your corresponding settings.

You need to check all your active plugins for such an option/configuration.

If you are unable to locate it after checking every option of external plugins, I would recommend to reach out to your hosting provider so they could support you in detecting this in your envrionment.

Please adjust this as recommended and retest the connection process once again afterward, and feel free to let me know if the mentioned solution solved your request or if you require further assistance regarding this matter.

Thank you for your effort and understanding.
I am looking forward to your reply.

Best regards

Hi again.

Oh, our website is without the dev. sub domain
Dev was only during the initial website development :-)

https://visionline.dk/wp-json works. But still no luck :-(
