Why can't I change my Pinterest board cover? There's no change cover option any more. Rather than try and edit the boards cover from the main page where all your boards are situated, open up the actual board you want to edit. Once open look to the top left above the board title, find the pencil icon (grey) and click.
If one of your Pins or boards is missing, it's possible it was accidentally deleted. We unfortunately can't recover boards that were deleted. The best thing to do in this case is search Google for your Pinterest username and the name of the board or Pin you're missing to see if there's a cached copy.
How to Rearrange the Order of Pinterest Boards
- Open Pinterest in your favorite web browser and log in to your user account.
- Click the button with your profile name at the top right of the browser window. Your main profile page opens with all your boards.
- Click to select the board you want to move.
- Drag the selected board to a new location.
The Pin Title is a short (up to 100 characters) bit of prominent, bold text that provides more context to your Pin in the feed and on a Pin closeup. When someone sees your Pin in their feed or in a search result, the first 30 characters or so of the title will likely (not always) appear under your image.
You can't clear your Pinterest feed, as there's no way to have it completely free of any Pins. If you've unfollowed everything, Pinterest will only be able to give you random pins from all of the site. Following things you like will help them be able to show you the good stuff.
