Pingbacks to my own posts appear when internal linking

  • Hi guys,

    I’ve noticed that if I do an internal link to another post on my own blog, a pingback will appear in the linked post from my new post. I’m not really very keen on this and am wondering if there’s a way to disable this.

    Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks! ??

  • Use relative links instead of absolute – it will go away.
    So, instead of example.com/?p=123 use only /?=123.

    Hi again,

    Thanks for the info, but is there any way to prevent the pingbacks from occuring without using relative URLs? Say, a hack or plugin? The issue being that relative URLs can cause issues with feed syndication, especially Feedburner.

    I’m quite surprised they aren’t automatically filtered out as I doubt many people want to pingback themselves (could be wrong). :E

    I have a plugin that will fix this. It uses xml like tags that you write in your post to call your pages using only the “slug” or postname.

    It generates the permalink on the fly which prevents self-pingback and has the bonus of fixing the links on old posts if you change the permalink structure or the location of the file (unless you change the slug/postname of course).

    Or just use this plugin:
