    FYI, in class-wprm-assets.php I had to comment out contents of footer_assets(). The script returns a 503 error from Pinterest and lowers QA scores for certain websites.

    I also noticed that this is injecting the script in the header, not the footer.

    I’m not seeing any 503 errors on my end. What was the exact error you got?

    We basically just follow Pinterest’s documentation to load the https://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js script. That loads fine for me when I open it directly too.

    I’m not sure how you’re seeing it in the header either. The footer_assets() function is hooked to the wp_footer action. So the only reason I can see that happening is if your theme is calling wp_footer() in the head instead of at the end of the <body>.

    On a side note, if the Pinterest JS is causing problems for you, you can always change the “Pin Method” on the WP Recipe Maker > Settings > Social Sharing page to “Link only”. In that case the Pinterest JS is not loaded and you don’t need to edit any of the plugin files.

    We do have this version and the pro versions installed. The error was originally flagged by Site Improve.

    I think that might have been a false positive then or a temporary issue on Pinterest’s side. I’m not seeing any issues.
