Tasty Pins – WordPress Plugin

Tasty Pins is a WordPress plugin that separates Pinterest descriptions from image alt text for optimal SEO and accessibility. The plugin allows you to set custom Pinterest descriptions that perform well in Pinterest search while keeping your alt tags focused on image description for screen readers and search engines. This dual approach solves a common problem where bloggers previously had to choose between Pinterest optimization and proper accessibility standards.

The plugin gives you complete control over which images users can pin. You can hide Pinterest-specific images from your page front-end with a single click. You can also disable pinning on certain images entirely, which provides readers with fewer but better options for saving to Pinterest. A hover button option adds a visual reminder for readers to save your images, with support for both the default Pinterest button and a custom version.

Tasty Pins includes built-in support for hiding images on category pages, adding a Pinterest banner on the first post image, and forcing users to pin hidden images instead of visible ones. The plugin works with Elementor, Divi, and Thrive page builders. The code remains lightweight and fast, so image optimization does not sacrifice page load speed. A Pinterest follow box gives readers the option to follow your account after pinning an image.

Key Features

Separate Pinterest Descriptions
Set dedicated descriptions for Pinterest search performance. Include hashtags and keywords while keeping alt text clean for accessibility.

Proper Alt Text Usage
Reserve alt text for describing images to visually impaired users and search engines. Tasty Pins handles Pinterest needs separately.

Hidden Pinterest Images
Add Pinterest-specific images that do not appear on your public website. Users pin these hidden images instead of visible content.

Selective Pin Disabling
Turn off pinning for individual images. This gives readers fewer but higher-quality options for saving to Pinterest.

Customizable Hover Buttons
