    I have a problem with my wordpress blog. I’m having the blog for about half a year now and I’ve never received _any_ pingbacks, but there should be some because a few people linked to my posts. I allowed trackbacks and pingbacks in the general options and always make sure that the allowances per post are checked as well.
    I’m unsure about outgoing trackbacks, but I don’t think these work!
    This is the blog: ElephantasticVegan
    I’m using the blaskan theme.
    Does anyone have an idea? I would love to get this to work.

  • Hi, I’m going to try and set up a trackback and a ping back from my blog at vernonhorn.wordpress.com and see if we can figure out what is going on.

    Thank you so much for trying to help me!
    What I forgot was to add that I’m using the newest wordpress version: 4.1.
    It’s really weird because I’ve never received any notification about links to my posts. A pingback should be in the wordpress notifications, right?

    I’m sorry to report that after consulting with bluehost.com, I learned that they do not support pingbacks and trackbacks.

    Do you know if it is allowed for Go Daddy? I am having no luck with getting the answer from “support”.

    “Support” to a hosting company often means it’s possible to do, but they don’t provide troubleshooting, etc. In Bluehost’s case, they provide protection against trackback and pingback spam by default. If you go into your file manager, delete the file hosting_provider_filters.php and trackbacks/pingbacks will be allowed.
