If a post that you’re pinning is not saving correctly on Pinterest, this doc can help you figure out why that might be.

First, use our audit tool to determine if you’ve got the proper Open Graph (or, OG) tags in place for Pinterest to read from.

If the tags look a bit off, go through our 3 step check to see where the problem may be.

Step 1: Verify your Social Media fields in Hubbub #

Hubbub provides Social Media Title and Social Media Description fields at the bottom of the post editor that let you enter what you’d like your OG title and description tags to be.

Social networks, like Pinterest, read those tags and display it on their platforms.

To locate the Social Media Title and Social Media Description fields…

• Open the post in the WordPress Admin and scroll down to the Hubbub: Share Options panel.
• Check the Social Media Title and Social Media Description fields.

• Confirm whether the title and description in these fields match what you’d like to appear on Pinterest.

If those fields are blank, Hubbub may fallback to using your post’s Yoast SEO title and meta description (if you’re using that plugin).

If you have no OG tags specified on your website, Pinterest will likely create its own title and description for your post.

A note on the legacy Pinterest Title and Description feature #

Pinterest’s crawlers no longer reliably pull from the Pinterest Title or Pinterest Description fields in the post editor. Pinterest has confirmed that they now pull from the OG tags instead, so the Social Media Title and Social Media Description fields are the right place to set what you want Pinterest to show.

Step 2: Confirm your site source contains Open Graph tags #

Once your fields are filled out, verify that your site is actually writing the correct values to the page. To do so…

• Open the post in your browser (the same way one of your readers would)
• Right-click anywhere and select View Page Source.
• Use Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F on Mac) to search for og:title or og:description.

You should see <meta> tags containing the values from your social media fields from Hubbub. This is what they look like.

If the values look correct in your post’s source code, Hubbub (or another plugin) is working as expected, and all of the information is output for Pinterest.

If the OG tags exist, but aren’t the same values that you entered into Hubbub’s settings, you may have another WordPress plugin that is adding the tags.

Step 3: Verify that Rich Pins are not disabled #

Rich Pins are specialized Pinterest posts that automatically pull metadata — such as titles, descriptions, and ingredients — directly from your website.

Many sites had disabled Pinterest’s Rich Pin feature in the past. And due to a policy change at Pinterest, that could mean that your pin titles and descriptions are no longer allowed to be set using OG tags. This is a change Pinterest made sometime in 2025.

To verify that Rich Pins are not disabled on your site…

• Open the affected post on the front end
• Right-click anywhere and select View Page Source.
• Use Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F on Mac) to search for pinterest-rich-pin

If there are no results, this means that Rich Pins are enabled for your site.

If you see the following code, Rich Pins are currently disabled on your site.

<meta name="pinterest-rich-pin" content="false" />

To re-enable Rich Pins, this line of code will need to be removed.

Step 4: Give Pinterest time to crawl #

Hubbub outputs the data — but it’s Pinterest’s crawler that has to come along and read it, and that doesn’t always happen instantly.

If the post is new, give it some time. If you’ve recently updated the title or description, the old data may be cached on Pinterest’s side for days or longer before it refreshes.
