Pinterest är ett utmärkt sätt att dela innehållet på din webbplats och locka fler besökare. Enligt vår erfarenhet kan du få ännu fler fördelar genom att verifiera din webbplats på Pinterest.
När du verifierar din webbplats vet Pinterest att det verkligen är du. Detta ger dig tillgång till specialverktyg som webbplatsanalys så att du kan se vad som är populärt. Du kommer också att kunna köra annonser och få tillgång till detaljerad information om hur människor interagerar med ditt innehåll.
Den här artikeln visar hur du enkelt kan verifiera din WordPress-webbplats på Pinterest.
Varför ska du verifiera din WordPress site på Pinterest?
Pinterest är en av de mest populära plattformarna för social media för delning av foton, videoklipp och annat visuellt content. It allows you to create an account and manage your images like Instagram or Flickr.
It also allows other users to collect website links and other visual content by creating boards.
Om you run en photography website eller någon annan typ av blogg med images och videoklipp, så kan Pinterest vara en viktig trafikkälla.
Att kontrollera din website på Pinterest hjälper dig att lära dig mer om dina besökare med hjälp av Pinterest Analytics. Du kommer också att kunna delta i deras annonsprogram och planera en strategi för att öka din Pinterest-trafik.
Med detta sagt, låt oss ta en titt på hur du enkelt kan kontrollera din WordPress blogg på Pinterest.
Så här kontrollerar du din WordPress site på Pinterest
Innan vi börjar måste du uppgradera din Pinterest-profil till ett business account. Detta gör att du kan använda alla deras Pro-verktyg som analyser, annonsprogram och mer. Pinterest business account är gratis och enkelt att konfigurera.
Då sätter vi igång.
Video Tutorial
Om du föredrar skriftliga instruktioner är det bara att fortsätta läsa.
Step 1: Uppgradera ditt Pinterest-konto till Business
Först måste du logga in på ditt Pinterest-konto och klicka på nedåtpilen i det övre högra hörnet av din vy. Därefter klickar du på alternativet ”Unlock business tools”.
På nästa vy ser du en lista med funktioner som business account kommer att erbjuda.
Om du vill uppgradera ditt personal account och använda dessa funktioner klickar du på knappen ”Switch to business”.
Därefter anger du detaljerna för ditt business account som gillar profilnamn, URL till website, land och språk.
När du har enter alla dessa details klickar du på knappen ”Next”.
Pinterest kommer nu att be dig att beskriva your business. Du kan select en bransch från dropdown-menyn och välja 3 mål från de givna alternativen.
Därefter klickar du på knappen ”Next”.
På nästa vy blir du ombedd att selecta ett alternativ för att få customize rekommendationer.
När du har gjort detta, se till att du klickar på knappen ”Next”.
Nu kommer du att bli ombedd att välja ett alternativ om du är intresserad av att annonsera på Pinterest och sedan klicka på knappen ”Nästa”.
För denna tutorial kan du välja alternativet ”No, I am not planning to advertise” (Nej, jag planerar ej att annonsera).
Därefter kommer Pinterest att visa dig olika alternativ för att komma igång med ditt business account.
You can click the ’cross’ icon in the top right corner to skip this part.
Step-2: Gör anspråk på din website på Pinterest
Nästa steg är att göra anspråk på din website på Pinterest.
För att göra det kan du klicka på knappen ”Claim domain” från din Pinterest Business hub page, och det kommer direkt att ta dig till sidan för anspråksinställningar.
Ett annat sätt att göra anspråk på din website är att clicka på nedåtpilen högst upp i högra hörnet och välja alternativet ”Settings”. Sedan, heada över till ”Claim” section i den vänstra menyn.
Om du vill få äran för ditt content på Pinterest klickar du på knappen ”Claim” för Websites.
När du klickar på knappen kommer ett popup-fönster att visas med tre alternativ för att göra anspråk på din WordPress website.
Vi väljer alternativet ”Add HTML tag” eftersom det är det enklaste.
Men om du föredrar det kan du välja det andra alternativet där du downloadar HTML-filen och uppladdar den till din websites root directory med hjälp av en FTP-klient eller filhanteraren på ditt WordPress webbhotell.
You can also add a verification TXT post to your domain settings using your domain registrar.
Step-by-Step 3: Add HTML Tag till din WordPress website
Det finns flera sätt att add to en HTML tag till din website’s header, men vi kommer bara att cover de två enklaste metoderna.
Lägg till Pinterest HTML Tag med en sökmotorsoptimering Plugin
Först kan du använda All in One SEO (AIOSEO) WordPress plugin och enter HTML taggen till din website. För mer detaljer, följ vår guide om hur du installerar ett plugin för WordPress.
AIOSEO är det bästa pluginet för sökmotorsoptimering för WordPress och gör det mycket enkelt att optimera din site för search engines utan att anlita en expert.
Även om vi rekommenderar Pro-versionen kan du också använda den gratis versionen av AIOSEO för att add to Pinterest-verifiering.
För att add to HTML-taggen, gå till All in One SEO ” Allmänna Settings och klicka sedan på ’Webmaster Tools’ tabs från den övre menyn.
Efter det klickar du på blocket ”Pinterest Site Verification”.
Nu ska du enter HTML-taggen som du kopierade i föregående steg i fältet Pinterest Site Verification.
Sedan måste du clicka på knappen ”Save Changes”.
Lägg till Pinterest HTML Tag med en Code Snippets Plugin
Förutom att använda AIOSEO är ett annat sätt att lägga till HTML-taggen genom att installera och aktivera WPCode-pluginet.
Efter aktivering måste du besöka Code Snippets ” Header & Footer page i din WordPress dashboard. I sektionen ”Header” måste du klistra in HTML-taggen. Klicka sedan på knappen ”Save Changes”.
När HTML-koden har addats till din websites header section måste du gå tillbaka till Pinterest-vyn och klicka på knappen ”Continue” i popupen.
Du kommer nu att bli ombedd att enter URL:en till din website och sedan klicka på knappen ”Verify”.
När du har gjort det kommer du att se ett message som säger ”Verification in progress”.
Normalt tar processen 24 timmar och du får ett email om att din website har verifierats.
Nu är det klart! Du har nu utan problem kontrollerat din WordPress website på Pinterest.
Tips: Om Pinterest Misslyckas med att kontrollera efter att du har addat verifieringskoden, betyder det att du behöver clear din WordPress-cache.

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

Thank you this helped me out for sure. It was so confusing at first yet such a simple solution. Thanks again.
Pat
Wow! This was super easy to follow! Thank you!
Carolyn Lawton
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.
Carolyn
Whitney
Thank you! Your video was super helpful
Stacy
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!
Angela
Thank you!! This worked perfectly!! It was immediate. Had searched through and tried other tutorials which were vague or gave erroneous information!!
Thanks again!!!!!
Jena
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?
Kat
I am having the exact same problem. Argh.
Nickesha S
This was extremely straightforward and helpful. I was so confused by the directions I got in the pinterest help forum.
Bridget
Gosh thank you so much! I’ve been trying to claim my site for days…I’m so happy I came across this post because within 5 minutes, my site is verified completely.
Amazing!
Avalon
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?
Julie Robertson
Thanks for this tutorial! You made it so easy!
Sarah
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
Sarah
Millye
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!
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.
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.

Debbie Magee
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?
WPBeginner Support
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.

i followed the steps but I got an error message
{”code”:”MethodNotAllowedError”,”message”:”POST is not allowed”}
not sure what I did wrong
Eleanor
I tried to install the recommended plugin but got an install fail message: ”Installation failed: Download failed. cURL error 6: Couldn’t resolve host ’downloads.wordpress.org'”
WPBeginner Support
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.

Thank you! After trying several methods this one worked! I will reference it in my future posts for anyone that has this issue!
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.
Lisa
Thank you so much for this info! After trying several methods, the Insert Headers & Footers was the plug-in that did the trick
Veronica
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.
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.
A Burrili
Amazingly easy compared to all of the other methods I’ve seen out there. Thank you!!!!
Burt Whyte
Thanks for the excellent on target information! my site confirmation is official!
Gabby
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
Michelle
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
Thank you.
Elizabeth
I did exactly what this article says, but my website won’t confirm. Why is this?
Sara
I searched all over and couldn’t figure out how to do this, then I found this article. Thank you for giving such simple instructions! My website is now confirmed:)
Craig
Very good, practical instructions. Thanks!
Bob
Super easy to understand – love it.
Angie
Wow, you made this so easy! I was just about to give up when I found this video. Thank you thank you!!!
The Rambler
THANK YOU!!! Omg, this was the craziest brain hurting thing I’ve done with my blog. I downloaded that plugin and it so helped! Thank you, Thank you!!!!
Jessica Abbott
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.
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?
angela
Does this still work for the free Wordpress acounts?
I have the Canard theme, and I have linked to my own domain..
I dont have anywhere where it says header in my customization!
Please help!
Thank YOU

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!
Lauren
Yes I get the same API message. No one seems to know how to fix this. I’d love to know if you get an answer. Thanks!
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?
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.

Grace
Hi there, I followed all your steps. However, after I copy the code into the header section and save it, I recieve a message from pinterest saying ’API method not found’.. help!

I received the same API message. Did you guys ever figure it out?

Hi- followed the instructions correctly- but when I added to the headers section with the plugin- and then clicked finish on pinterest- nothing happened.
Saw others had the similar problem-…please help!
Marjorie
Hi!
Good video and tutorial! I added the good version of Insert Headers and Footers on my site WP, I put my pinterest code but nothing happen.. No confirmation! Do you have more information about confirmation problems? Thanks!
Kelly Mason
Just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you! You guys have helped me on say many occasions that I have stopped counting. I love all your tutorials, videos, and various css helps, including this Pinterest one. I have been trying for over a week to confirm my website and could not figure it out. Downloaded plugin and verified in less than a minutes.
Raza Bajwa
I have added the code, but not receive any confirmation message or email that i have successfully add the code. How can i verify that my website is verified or not???
Kobi Jae
Thanks for the article! I used to have my site on blogger and it was verified with pinterest. I’ve recently migrated to self-hosted WP, but with the same domain. Do you know if I need to update anything? Thanks!
Ann Marie
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.
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.

Devon
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?
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.
Lemurian Girl
Thank you! This worked on my self-hosted WordPress blog. Appreciate the tutorial ~ Alohas
Meg
Thanks for this! I did as instructed but didn’t get the success message. When I attempted it again I got simply the word ”error” when I attempted to get my code. Any idea if this means it worked?

Already hooked up website to Pinterest, how does one get the Verification Code?
