# Pinterest description missing

 * Hello,
 * When we go to pin images on posts that use Grow Social Pro, there is no option
   to pin an image that has a description.
 * The pin description is correctly set in the javascript, but it’s not getting 
   pulled.
 * A few items we wanted to note:
 * • “pin_description_source” is set to “post_pinterest_description”
    • “pinteret_description”
   is correctly set • Pin description gets pulled from post meta data, not the pin
   metadata
 * We also tried re-scraping using this tool, but no change: [https://developers.pinterest.com/tools/url-debugger/](https://developers.pinterest.com/tools/url-debugger/)
 * Any help / insight you can offer would be so appreciated. Thank you!

 * Hey [@kaileeg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kaileeg/),
 * Thanks so much for reaching out! Since you’re on the pro version of the plugin
   you’re more than welcome to reach out to us directly using [grow@mediavine.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pinterest-description-missing/grow@mediavine.com?output_format=md).
   🙂
 * Just to help answer things here in case any others stumble upon it, we’ve seen
   that Pinterest recently has made some changes in how they pull descriptions for
   images and are now much more likely to use the OpenGraph metadata description
   on the post instead of the Pinterest Description set on the image.
 * After taking a look at the post above, I can see that the data-pin-description
   is being set correctly on each of your images so it looks like Grow Social Pro
   is doing everything Pinterest is requiring for custom Pinterest descriptions 
   but due to the above changes on Pinterest’s side of things it appears to be defaulting
   to the OpenGraph metadata.
 * Unfortunately in these cases there isn’t much we can do here to force Pinterest
   to pull the custom Pinterest description instead but if you wanted you could 
   try adding your Pinterest Descriptions to the “Social Media Description” section
   instead in the post editor.
 * If you have any other questions about this please don’t hesitate to shoot us 
   an email at [grow@mediavine.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pinterest-description-missing/grow@mediavine.com?output_format=md)
   and we’ll be happy to answer things further!
