I have tried of number of plugins to show Pinterest save buttons on images when hovering. None of them work. Do you have any idea what's preventing this? The buttons work with Wordpress default themes so it's very likely something in Kalium causing the problem.
On my site you will find such items under "News". Choose a news post and when the post loads, hover over the image. You will likely need to have Pinterest's extension installed. It seems that anything Kalium related, like blog grids, portfolio grids, single portfolio items, doesn't work with this. I have tried the following plugins, some of which have been recommended from prior Kalium support responses on the forum.

None of them seems to be working, unfortunately so what I did was to enable the Portfolio Sharing and Pinterest is on this list also, this is the only way you can share the posts/portfolio items for now.
Thanks, Art. I was aware that the social sharing button worked. I had to turn that off, though, since it is not styled accordingly.
Regardless, I do hope that the Kalium team can get this working. Pinterest is a pretty big deal for some folks. If you tried the Pinterest extension for chrome you will see that all of the images appear in a grid if you click the button while on a portfolio page. So, Pinterest is definitely "seeing the images." It's Kalium that's preventing direct interaction with images.
I should also note that there is no option to Right Click an image and "Save to Pinterest" on images in Kalium portfolios just as there is no option to "Save Image As", if lightbox is turned off. If Lightbox is turned on, "Save Image As" is enabled but "Save to Pinterest" is not.
I stand corrected, "Save Image As" doesn't appear when Lightbox is enabled. It does appear for the Lightbox preview, though.
I have written another ticket on this but I'll request it again. It would be great if we could specify the Lightbox thumbnail size. It must be accessible somewhere in the code.
I added this in the to-do list for the upcoming updates, I also think this is a great feature so what we're gonna do is maybe support the popular Pinterest plugins.
Hello Kalium,
