How to add Pinterest Feed to a ExpressionEngine website

Embed Pinterest Feed on ExpressionEngine

01

Create a Pinterest Feed add-on for ExpressionEngine on Common Ninja

First, create a ExpressionEngine Pinterest Feed add-on on Common Ninja. On the add-ons catalog, find the Pinterest Feed and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Pinterest Feed add-on

When you're done creating the Pinterest Feed add-on, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Pinterest Feed Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Pinterest Feed add-on to your ExpressionEngine website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the add-on embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your ExpressionEngine website.

04

Paste the code to your ExpressionEngine website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your ExpressionEngine website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the ExpressionEngine’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Pinterest Feed Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Pinterest Feed add-on on your ExpressionEngine website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Pinterest Feed add-on on your ExpressionEngine add-on. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your ExpressionEngine website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Pinterest Feed add-on to your ExpressionEngine website. You can do this by putting it straight into your ExpressionEngine website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Pinterest Feed widget when your brand uses Pinterest to share ideas, products, or inspiration and you want that visual momentum inside your site. A live feed pulls your latest pins into a clean gallery, keeping pages fresh and encouraging exploration without manual updates. This is ideal for ecommerce, design, lifestyle, food, DIY, and travel brands where visuals drive decisions. Visitors can browse boards and pins in context, then click through if something catches their eye. The feed reinforces your style, shows ongoing activity, and turns your site into a richer discovery space. It also helps convert casual browsers into followers who want more inspiration over time.
