Burnpedia Pin Scheduler for Pinterest

Yes. This plugin is a client for Burnpedia, and it cannot publish to Pinterest without one — WordPress has no way to post to Pinterest on its own. Creating one is free, takes a moment, and needs no card. Pinterest itself is connected inside Burnpedia, on Pinterest's own login screen.

Yes — that is the whole point. Turn on automatic pinning under Automation, and every post you publish becomes a scheduled Pin. You can also pin a single post by hand from the post editor, including old ones.

Yes. Pins are scheduled by default, with a delay you choose, so your caches and CDN are warm before Pinterest fetches the image. Straight-away publishing is one setting away.

No. A free Burnpedia account publishes up to 3 Pins a day, and every feature of this plugin works on it. Paid plans exist for people publishing more than that, but nothing in the plugin is locked behind them.

Nothing is lost. The Pin stays queued and the plugin retries it after the daily allowance resets, so it publishes the next day instead of failing. The Activity tab shows it waiting, and says when the allowance comes back in your site's own timezone.

No, and it never asks for one. Pinterest is connected inside Burnpedia through Pinterest's official OAuth login, on Pinterest's own domain.

The Activity tab gives the reason for every post it skipped. The usual ones are: the post is password protected, its category is excluded, or the day's Pin allowance is used up (in which case it retries automatically after the reset). A post with no image is no longer one of them by default — it gets a designed cover instead.

It gets a cover designed from its title: the headline set in one of Burnpedia's colour palettes, at 1000x1500. It is free, uses no AI points, and the same post always gets the same cover. Switch it off under Automation → Image and such posts are skipped and logged, as they were before.

Pinterest fetches the image from your server, so the image URL must be reachable from the public internet. Local development sites, sites behind HTTP authentication, and private networks cannot work — the settings screen shows a warning when it detects one.

Yes, one at a time or in bulk. Open a single post and use Pin this post now in the Pinterest box; to work through an archive, the Pin older posts tab lists every published post that has no Pin yet and queues the ones you tick, spread over safe posting slots rather than sent in one burst.

Yes. Any public post type can be pinned — WooCommerce products, pages, portfolios, recipes, or any custom post type your theme or plugins register. You choose which ones under Automation; attachments are excluded on purpose.

Both. The per-post Pinterest panel appears in the block editor sidebar and in the classic editor, and the image is read from the featured image or from the images in the post content either way.

No — this plugin does Pinterest only, and does it properly. If you need other networks, use a separate plugin for them alongside this one.

Yes. The Pins from this site tab is a Pinterest analytics screen for the Pins this website published: impressions, saves, and clicks through to your site. The site-wide total is on every plan, free included; the per-post breakdown is on the paid plans. The numbers come from Burnpedia's own copy of Pinterest's data, so opening the screen never spends your Pinterest rate limit.

Yes. The Pins from this site tab shows impressions, saves and clicks through to your site. That site-wide total is on every plan, free included. The per-post breakdown — the same numbers beside each post in the posts list, which answers which post Pinterest is sending people to — is on the paid plans. Either way the numbers come from Burnpedia's own copy of the data, so opening those screens never uses up your Pinterest rate limit. Pinterest reports about two days behind, and the screen says so.

Yes — all three are in the Pinterest box in the post editor and override the site-wide templates.

No. A post is pinned once. Re-publishing an already-pinned post does nothing; use "Pin this post now" if you want another Pin.

Any public post type on your site — choose them under Automation. Attachments are excluded on purpose.

It reads the featured image and the post content, so anything that stores those normally works. The burnpedia_pin_image_url and burnpedia_pin_payload filters let you supply your own values.

The plugin sends no personal data about your visitors anywhere. It sends the Pin fields listed under "External services", and only after you save an API key.

Open the Pinterest check-up tab and press Scan all posts. It lists every published post with no big, tall image for Pinterest (none at all, narrower than 1000 pixels, or wider than it is tall), every post that is not optimized for Pinterest (a Pin title over 100 characters, which Pinterest cuts off; a description too short to be found; an image with no alt text; pinning switched off) and every post you have never pinned. Each post has a link to view it and to edit it, and each finding a Fix it link that opens the post with the field to change already selected — the Pin title, the Pin description, the Pin picture, or the picture's alt text. The scan is free and the picture and text checks never leave your site.

The check-up's Never pinned by you list. It counts Pins this plugin made, Pins made in your Burnpedia account, and Pins on your connected Pinterest account, including ones you pinned by hand. Pinterest does not tell anyone whether somebody else pinned your page, so the list means never pinned by you. From there, the Pin older posts tab queues them.

On a paid Burnpedia plan, the "Pins from this site" tab shows Your best posts on Pinterest: the five posts sending the most clicks to your site from Pinterest, each with Pin it again with a new picture, which opens Burnpedia's Pin maker on that post so the new picture is made from your own post's pictures. On the free plan the tab says the ranking exists and links to the plans; the site's totals stay free.

No. The scan, the lists and the links are free on every plan. AI is optional: "Make it with AI" writes a post's Pin title and description and makes a cover preview, using AI points from your Burnpedia account. On the "No big Pinterest image" list you can tick many posts and make their cover previews in one go — the price is shown first, nothing is pinned until you keep them, and kept covers are pinned one a day. Paid plans include AI points every day, and anyone can buy a one-time bundle of AI credit — no plan needed; the tab shows each bundle and its price, as set by Burnpedia.

Yes. A wide featured image is pinned as a short Pin that shows small in the Pinterest feed. When the check-up finds a tall picture further down the same post, it says so and offers Use this tall picture; the post's Pin then uses it, and Use the automatic picture puts it back. On the "No big Pinterest image" list, Use the tall picture on the posts that have one does every post at once, and one press puts them all back. In the post editor, the Pinterest panel's Pin picture menu lists every picture in the post with its size and marks the tallest. Only the post's own pictures can be chosen. It is free and nothing is sent anywhere.

Yes. On the check-up tab, tick the posts (or every post on the page) and press Write titles & descriptions. The price for the whole selection is shown before you press, posts that already have their own Pin title and description are left alone by default, and each post can be undone. It writes text only: no picture is made and nothing is pinned. It uses AI points from your Burnpedia account.

Yes, for the picture a post's Pin uses. The check-up flags pictures with no alt text; Write alt text with AI looks at the picture and writes one plain sentence describing it, saved in your Media Library where you can edit it. To do many at once, tick posts and press Write alt text for the ticked pictures: the price is shown first, they are written one at a time, and each can be undone. Alt text is what a screen reader reads instead of the picture, and what Pinterest offers as the description when a visitor saves the picture from your site. A picture that already has alt text is never changed.

After a check-up, the tab and the Pins from this site tab show a readiness score — for example "63% of your posts are ready for Pinterest" — and whether it went up or down since the scan before. When 30 or more posts have been published since your last scan, the check-up tab suggests scanning again. It never shows a notice anywhere else in WordPress.

Yes, if your Burnpedia account has enough AI points. In the post editor the Pinterest panel shows "Try an AI cover" with its price and your balance. "Make a preview" makes a photograph from the Pin title, with the title set on it, and shows it to you. Nothing is pinned unless you press "Pin with this cover", and "Discard" throws the preview away. If the picture cannot be made you are not charged, and your post's own photo is never changed. Without enough points the option is not shown.
