1. Once Yoast is installed, go to the Yoast dashboard (on the left in your main dashboard). Click on Features. Make sure Advanced Settings are set to Enabled.

2. Go to https://developers.pinterest.c... Put in a URL from your site (not your Home Page URL...use a URL from any of your posts) into the Validator box at the bottom of the page. Click the button that says Validate. That's it! No code to insert. Yoast does it all! I have heard that it sometimes takes a day or so for Pinterest to approve your rich pins but it approved mine right away.

Thank you for sharing this. I kept trying to validate for rich pins using my home page URL. Rich pins are important for Pinterest business and do not know why this small bit of info was not included in the training here at WA.

I've followed the exact steps to enable rich pins but with the validator I get an error "We were unable to retrieve any data from your URL", any ideas?

Ahh just after asking I kept clicking "Validate" and the message changed to something like "The Pinterest server is having trouble", then I clicked it again (a few times) and it finally went through and got validated yay!

This was a helpful tutorial. I have a Pinterest account, but I will remember this tutorial when I get further into my posting on my site and use this feature. Thanks for the tutorial!
