Themes break pingback?

  • I have designed a new theme….. however, “pingback” function does not work with my theme.

    I have done some testing (and read some code in xmlrpc.php), and found that this may be related to the blank lines ……..

    To reproduce the problem, just delete some blank lines from the default theme single.php and try pingback yourself..

    Does anyone have experience with this?

    Ummm.. I don’t quite understand your problem here. What do you mean that it “does not work”? What, exactly, does not work? Do pings from other blogs not appear? Do your pings not get sent? Just confused by your post, is all.

    Blank lines don’t mean a thing, usually. Depends on the blank lines you’re talking about.

    It show up on the other site,
    but it contains the metadata section (“This post is posted in balrblar….., “)

    Got the same problem! When I sent a trackback, the content of my post is shown in the comment WordPress sends, but if I enable automatic pingback, some strange data is sent with the comment… Any ideas?

    I just gave it a try… The text sent with a pingback depends on the html-tags you use in your templates… i just edited some tags and tried to ‘restore’ the status of the default theme, and suddenly the sent text of the pingback looked much more like it should, though it’s still not perfect… I find this to be an odd dependency, which is surely inconveniant!

    I think it’s going to be quite hard to figure out what kind of html-tag structure leaves the single.php template in a form that it’ll work for pingbacks.
