Pingbacks not displaying

Hey @brenr1958,

thank you for choosing Bento!

It’s an inconsistency indeed, thanks for bringing this up; I will add the code to the next version update of Bento that removes pingbacks and trackbacks from comment counts (this snippet, in case you’d like to implement right away). If, on the contrary, you want the pingbacks and trackbacks to be displayed by the theme alongside comments, please add this code to your child theme’s functions.php:

add_filter( 'wp_list_comments_args', 'bento_filter_wp_list_comments_args', 5, 1 );
function bento_filter_wp_list_comments_args( $r ) {
    $r['type'] = 'all';
    return $r;
}

Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori Studio

Just checked the pingbacks are showing up but they are not linking back to the site that left the pingback.

Hey @brenr1958,

the theme uses the standard wp_list_comments function for displaying the comments and linkbacks – could you please check if the pingbacks are being left in a proper manner, described e.g. here?

In case this does not help solve the issue, please try switching the theme to a default one (e.g. Twenty Seventeen) and checking whether the pingbacks get linked properly; let me know of the results.

Thanks for your patience!

Pingbacks worked OK in Twenty Seventeen… but not linking when I went back to Bento theme.

One thing I have just noted the pingback shows the link in the Recent Comment Widget in my footer but not in the comments section

Hey BrenR1958,

I’ve gotten to the bottom of this, with the following result:
– full pingback support in the theme using native WP functions
– pingback author text now links to the original mentioning post
– added more styling to make pingbacks look better in the comment tree

These changes will become widely available with the next update of Bento, which is coming late March / early April, yet if you need it sooner, you can download the new source here and overwrite the theme’s files manually (note that the theme version has not been incremented there, so you won’t be able to update using the native WP automation – so only via an ftp client or by uninstalling and reinstalling the theme anew).

Sincerely,

Thanks for getting back to me… I will wait until the new update comes out.
