 * Looks like it’s down to your site being loaded over https, and the Pinterest 
   link is http, your server is refusing the connection. I amended the link code
   in my developer tools and it worked ok – [http://ge.tt/5yleKJd1/v/0](http://ge.tt/5yleKJd1/v/0)
 * Would you be happy to try and make a small change to the simple-share-buttons-
   adder.php file for me, to see if my thoughts on a fix would work?
 *     ```
       // pinterest share link
       	$htmlShareButtons = "<a class='ssba_pinterest_share' href='javascript:void((function()%7Bvar%20e=document.createElement(&apos;script&apos;);e.setAttribute(&apos;type&apos;,&apos;text/javascript&apos;);e.setAttribute(&apos;charset&apos;,&apos;UTF-8&apos;);e.setAttribute(&apos;src&apos;,&apos;http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r=&apos;+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)%7D)());'>";
       ```
   
 * To…
 *     ```
       // pinterest share link
       	$htmlShareButtons = "<a class='ssba_pinterest_share' href='javascript:void((function()%7Bvar%20e=document.createElement(&apos;script&apos;);e.setAttribute(&apos;type&apos;,&apos;text/javascript&apos;);e.setAttribute(&apos;charset&apos;,&apos;UTF-8&apos;);e.setAttribute(&apos;src&apos;,&apos;//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r=&apos;+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)%7D)());'>";
       ```
   
 * Tiny change, removing the ‘http:’, hopefully this should do the trick for you.
 * Is there any reason you’ve decided to run the whole site on https? Only reason
   I ask is at a skim I couldn’t see anywhere that sensitive information is entered?

 * Done and working!
 * The site had early Facebook and Stripe functions that required https. At some
   point I’ll change it…
 * Thanks man. Love the plugin.

 * Great stuff, thanks for giving it a try and letting me know! I’ll get it included
   by default from future releases onwards 🙂
