    Hi Pixelwars,

    Pretty much finished my web site (now it is proofread and such).

    I just realized that the share icons in a gallery do not work as intended. Especially the Pin It link.

    When clicking Pin It and than selecting a ‘Board’ to pin it to a message comes up saying:

    Oops!
    Parameter ‘image_url’ (value http:images/wedding-photographer/photos-by-motti-montreal-vaudreuil-wedding-photographer-fullsize-16.jpg) is not a valid URL format.

    I included a screen shot picture in the Dropbox link below.

    Now when trying to share to Facebook, although I select a photo to share the photo that looks to be shared is different than the photo I chose (see screen shots wrong image.jpg and wrong-image-2.ipg) and the photo that is actually shows on Facebook is completely different or none at all (see screen shots facebook.jpg and facebook-2.jpg.

    Facebook shares a link to the page which is great but is it possible to be able to share just a photo? I mean if I want to share a page I just use the share icons on the page but if there are share buttons on the gallery why not have the ability to share just a specific image?

    It is the same when sharing to Twitter. Only a text with a link to the page appears. Again, I can do the same with the share icons on the page, it would be great if we can share specific images on Twitter.

    Here is my dropbox link with the screen shots:

    Thank yiu,

    Hi Motti,
    Could you provide me your url please? I just tested again, everything looks fine on my side. I would like to have a look to your website. Thanks

    I think I know what the issue is and I hope there is a better solution. My images are linked through a subfolder like (relative links):

    When I change it to absolute link like:
    <img src="www.photosbymotti.com/images/sub-folder/image-name.jpg

    Pinterest recognizes it and I can Pin it.

    I wish there is a way to have Pinterest recognize relative linking.
