Trackback Help?

  • I’m trying to add trackbacks to my posts and after searching these forums couldn’t find any real help so I’m posting here. I know I have to add this:

    < p >Trackback URL for this post: <?php trackback_url(); ?>< /p >

    to the loop. I went into my index.php and found this:

    <!– <?php trackback_rdf(); ?> –>

    between my ‘Feedback’ and ‘End Post’. So where does everything go? Do I have to do anything in CSS for the trackback to show? Thanks.

  • Leave this one <!-- <?php trackback_rdf(); ?> --> as it is, don’t touch it.
    The code snippet you posted is usually in the comments.php. Check out other themes how they add it.

    Moshu, I put the code snippet in the comments.php. The problem is it just comes out as text at the bottom of my comments form ex.

    Trackback URL for this post: https://www.5thape.com/2005/12/12/post-title/trackback/

    Basically I just want it to be a link that says: Trackback URL

    Thanks.

    <a href="<?php trackback_url() ?>" rel="trackback"><?php _e('TrackBack <abbr title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</abbr>'); ?></a>

    That does just that ??

    Thanks guys it works. Sweet!

    THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

    I’ve been looking for this all night, and here it was all along.

    Now I’ve got a great:
    “Comments (x) – TrackBack URI – Posted in x by x”
    at the bottom of every post. Exactly what I’ve been wanting. Like 5thape I didn’t want a long, ugly text reference but wanted a short, clean link to my trackback.

    podz, I owe you!
