Overview

About this plugin

com account; to grab all your pins (including from secret and optionnally followed boards); and to import them in WordPress.

The difference with other plugins is that it is not based on the (very limited) official Pinterest API; which also requires SSL.

This means that you can make a full backup (instead of getting only the last x pins); but it also means the plugin may broke one day or another.

Better use it quick!

  • Nice GUI
  • Uses a custom post type, which makes it easy to use specific theme templates or capabilities, etc.
  • Get pins from regular boards, secret boards and followed boards (optional).
  • Assign a WordPress category to each of your board (or let us handle it automatically)
  • Supports both image & video pins; and sets automatically the corresponding post format
  • Downloads original HD images from pins.
  • Can be used on an ongoing basis: pins will not be imported several times
  • Backup & display the pin metadatas in a metabox
  • Set pin creation date as post date
  • Handles hashtags, which are converted to post tags
  • Cache pins in a JSON file for every board

Notes

For feature request and bug reports, please use the forums.

If you are a plugin developer, we would like to hear from you. Any contribution would be very welcome.

TO DO

  • use wp_update_term_count()? seems posts count for categories is not updated.
  • add source in post content should be optional
  • a trashed pin should not be considered existing?
  • use some ajax functions (Pinterest queries, etc.)
  • bug when creating ‘pinim_boards_settings’: last board settings are not saved, so it is detected as new board when the page refreshes.
