What if my Pinterest photos are not loading?

Sometimes it takes a while to show on your end that you have pinned something. Try to remember to look again in about 24 hours.

Question

Why does it ask me to have access to photos?

Community Answer

It us for your safety and privacy. You won't be able to upload a Pinterest post that include photos until you accept it.

Question

How can I put a picture from my own pictures on a board?

Community Answer

Go to the little plus button (if using on phone) and your gallery will open. Select the Picture of your choice and press "Pin It". You can select which board to put it with a reasonable caption.

Question

I'm signed in to Pinterest, but don't see a "Pin it" button or drop-down menu with the option to add photos. What am I missing?

Community Answer

You need to install the "Pinterest Save Button" add-on for your browser. Then you can save any picture you want with that little plugin just by clicking that button.

Question

I have been putting my own photos of meals I've cooked and when they get pinned by followers or other users, it comes up on theirs without my pinning name. How do I change it to say my name?

Community Answer

You can't change it. Usually it only shows the last person who saved it, but there's nothing you can do.

I can't see the "+" button. Where is it located?

Not that I know of, but you could use the different pictures and post them to the same link.

Question

Photos which I have taken in portrait orientation appear in landscape orientation in Pinterest. How can I fix this?

Community Answer

You can use a website such as photoutils.com to change the landscape. Also, you should be able to see a preview before you upload and at that time you can change your landscape.
