   Do I need a business WordPress plan to verify my pinterest account? I’m starting my blog and it’s still a free WP.

   I have just switched my personal Pinterest account to Business, and I’m now in the process of verifying my website. I do not have – nor do I want a Facebook account. I do not choose to use Twitter either. Can I pass that step and only use Pinterest?
   I do have a Quora account in addition to Pinterest … can that be added? Thank you for your help.

   Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to find an easy way to do this – I had no idea I could verify my website with Pinterest through Yoast SEO. It took like 30 seconds. Next time I have a question about how to do something on WordPress, I’m coming straight to your site!

   Thank you!! This worked perfectly!! It was immediate. Had searched through and tried other tutorials which were vague or gave erroneous information!!
   Thanks again!!!!!

   I have tried this step by step process about 4 different times and I always get an email back from pinterest saying:
   ”We couldn’t find the HTML meta tag or verification file on your site. Be sure to paste the HTML meta tag in the section of your site’s homepage, or upload the verification file to your site’s root directory. Try again or get help.”
   What am I doing wrong?

    Hi,

    I tried both methods and an error screen came up saying:

    ”403 Forbidden: A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site.”

    Any idea to why this might be happening?

    Hi,
    This tutorial worked perfectly me for my word-press site, but I had to go through a lot of other duff tutorials to find this one.
    Is there any chance I can ”pin” a link to this tutorial on a new pinterest board I am building about pinterest analytics and wordpress websites?

    Many Thanks

    Pinterest has changed since then I think, because the process was different, but it was still helpful to see this before doing it! Thank you so much!
    I have a question about the plugin you recommended. Let’s say I need to claim/verify my website on other social media, (ex.bloglovin) can I simply copy paste the new codes i’m given under the pinterest one? I mean, can I add more than one code in the Header box of the plugin? thanks in advance!

    Svara

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Millye,

      Yes you can add more than one code in the header box of the plugin.

    Hello Sir,
    I dont have any technical experience so I always try not to mess things up in the coding area. Can you please suggest any plugin that can make this work? For eg. for bing verification, i simply pasted the code in the Yoast SEO Plugin.

    Svara

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Shikhar,

      The above method is a plugin method. You will be using insert headers and footers plugin to add your verification code.

    I tried your method and it didn’t work. I get an Opps message and that it can take more than an hour. I waited overnight and it didn’t work.

    Also, I am having a problem since Dec 18 when the only image that can be generated is the Featured Image. On Dec 29 the post Pinintert worked fine! But the next post has the same problem, plus it doesn’t even generate the thumbnails of the other images. They are not too big – I resize them like always in . What the heck? Is it related to not being able to confirm my website?

    Svara

      Hi Debbie,

      We are not sure if it is related to that. Pinterest verification had some issues in the past but those issues were resolved.

      Hi Eleanor,

      Please retry again. If the same thing happens again, then contact your WordPress hosting provider. They may not have curl extension enabled, which is required by WordPress to function properly.

21. Sarah Lentz

    Thank you! I tried uploading the file to my ”public.html” root directory, but 24 hours later … nothing. And I wasn’t sure exactly where to put the meta tag, so finding this post really helped. I downloaded the ”Insert Headers & Footers” plugin and added the meta tag in the plugin’s settings window (in the header section). Here’s hoping …
    But this is the most helpful article on this by far. Most articles just repeat what the Pinterest website tells you to do, which isn’t much help if you’re still an amateur blogger who doesn’t know where to put a ”meta tag.” Maybe I should know that by now, but the techy side of blogging is still murky waters for me.

22. Lisa

    Thank you so much for this info! After trying several methods, the Insert Headers & Footers was the plug-in that did the trick

    Thank you so much for this information. I was completely lost at the instructions on Pinterest but I found this article after a quick google search and my site is now verified.

24. Astrid

    I had this problem months ago and tried all the fixes and it didn’t work so i gave up. I just tried it again and it finally worked! I also received the message that it could take up to an hour to confirm but see that it only took a few minutes and my site is now confirmed. Thank you for the easy to follow instructions – I ended up trying second way by inserting into the header.

    I tried a couple of different methods before I finally came across this post. Pinterest pop up said ”may take up to an hour” but I can be patient a little longer because I finally found a way to make it work! Thanks

    Your videos have been very helpful thank you. My website has already been confirmed on Pinterest and I never saved the meta tag or html file. Would you please advise how I can get the meta tag from my account with Pinterest. I can not find it anywhere?? Arrghh

    I had the same issue as everyone above. API method not found. Someone from pinterest reached out right away after I submitted my question, confirmed they could see the meta tag and sent in a request to have it confirmed manually within a day on their end.

    Svara

36. Dee

    Also tried this and I get the same API message. Is there something up with Pinterest?

    I’m self hosted and the domain I’m trying to verify is top-level. I’ve tried about 3 different methods and none work.

    I also get an error that Pinterest is having trouble connecting to my website but it’s running fine (double checked to make sure) Whats up?

    Also tried this and got the API message. I am self-hosted (Blue Host) but I am terrible with anything like this, especially adding HTML – have you got a simpleton’s version of what to do when you get the API message?! Thank you! Love your site – it’s helped me out loads of times!

39. Renee

    I have put into the plugin and also tried putting it into my header. No matter what I do Pinterest tells me it can not find the API. It looks like others are having the same problem. What do I need to do to fix this?

    Svara

    • WPBeginner Support

      The Pinterest API allows only top level domain to be verified, if your site is hosted on a subdomain then it will not be confirmed. You can also try downloading the HTML file and then uploading it to your root domain.

    I tried this but got the following warning:

    ”The Header and Footer plugin(s) might cause issues when used in conjunction with Yoast SEO.
    Both Yoast SEO and Header and Footer create OpenGraph output, which might make Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other social networks use the wrong texts and images when your pages are being shared.”

    There was the recommendation to deactivate Header and Footer (which I did), but I am temporarily at a loss on what I should do next. By the way, I’m a novice at this stuff.

    Svara

    • WPBeginner Support

      Please remove header and footer plugin and then install ”Insert Headers and Footers” plugin. These are two different plugins. The one you have installed is not compatible with Yoast SEO. The other one, that we have recommended in the article is fully compatible with Yoast SEO.

        I have installed the ”Insert Header and Footer” plugin on my WordPress blog (hosted my GoDaddy) and have pasted the meta tag generated by Pinterest. This and all previous attempt via different method (using Verify Pinterest plugin and manually entering in section) result in the same message from Pinterest: API method not found.
        I am frustrated beyond belief. Any suggestions?

        Svara

        • WPBeginner Support

          For the time being, Pinterest verification seems to be not working for most users. We tried reaching out to Pinterest but did not get a response.

        • Dave

          That is the problem with Pinterest. When one reaches out to them they do not respond. For poor support.

        • Sapna

          Has there been any update on this post? I am having the same API Method Not Found error, despite trying every method I can find to verify.
