Setting up Pingback/Trackback

  • I’m having issues trying to get pingback and trackback running. I don’t want actual comments, but I would like to let people pingback and trackback my posts. How can I find the trackback url? And what tags/templates would I use to display trackbacks– I assume I would just call comments and turn comments off.

    Note: I just upgraded from 1.2 to 1.5. I am using a custom index and css, but not a theme. Would it be easier to do this within a theme? Would it be easy to make a theme from my custom phps? Thanks for the help.

  • You can call the trackback URI with the template tag <?php the_trackback_url(); ?>. It’s displayed as a link in the default theme’s single.php, in the graybox div. And yes, to just allow trackbacks, you would just turn off comments for an entry but allow tracks and pings. The trackbacks should display themselves automatically in the comments area of a post.

    I found the uri (had to use trackback_url() and tried a trackback using this site, but keep getting an unrecognized error.
