this is a really strange one.

I've set up a bunch of pins on Pinterest linking through to our services which all work fine. Then I decided to do the same on our blog articles (we use Wordpress), yet everytime I click the link (and I've done this on different computers) the link goes to a 404 page on our site. However the link is valid and if you right click the pin and open in new window it opens fine.

I have contacted Pinterest who are next to useless. I have also tried different browsers, different computers and different Pinterest accounts.

I can't see any weirdness in my htaccess files causing this so I'm a little stumped. Any suggestions?

: Can I instruct the browser not to look for a favicon? I have a website that doesn't have/need a favicon. Is there a way to instruct the browser not to waste a request looking for /favicon.ico

I know this is a bit old, but I ran into the same issue. It turns out Pinterest first issues a HEAD request to the address to validate the link. My app (asp.net) was only allowing GET requests.
