Trackback to my WP2.0 doesn’t work

mwhiegl, yeah, hold on. I’ll use my new installation test blog to send one to your article…..
ok, it’s on it’s way.

I noticed one oddity, though. I tried to use an existing article, and the “already pinged” message didn’t show the URL.
So I created a new post with a trackback to:
https://wp200.hiegl.net/archives/6/trackback/

It showed the “already pinged” followed by your trackback URL.

weird.

Thanks for the test trackback, but I think it is a pingback because of the “link?? – try writing an post without any link inside and a trackback to me …

The URL at “already pinged” is without “trackback/”, isn’t it?

yeah, you’re right, mwhiegl. I guess it is. I guess my new installation doesn’t work… yay…
Well, at least I know it doesn’t….
I think sending trackbacks is officially fubar.

I received several of my test trackbacks from tamba overnight. I’m not sure I like this delay…

Going to try to send a trackback now.

New development. Pings will work if you execute execute_all_pings()

Go to https://www.yourpage.com/wp-admin/execute-pings.php

It is obviously not being called in the script somewhere

I’m going to try to place it at the end of post.php and see what happens.

I am trying this at the end of post.php

Change:
break;
} // end switch
/* </Edit> */
include('admin-footer.php');
?>
to this:
break;
} // end switch
/* </Edit> */
require_once('execute-pings.php');
execute_all_pings();
include('admin-footer.php');
?>

*edit*

It seems to add some text at the end of post.php but I can live with that.

According to my page the ping went out. ??

citeewurkor, let me know if you got the trackback.

You do this mod at your own risk. It may be a security issue, I just don’t know. ??

OK, with this “fix” you can do either trackbacks or pingbacks but not both.

If you try putting a link in your post and a trackback then neither gets sent out.

At least we are making some progress. We just have to figure out where to place the execute_all_pings() command and we’ll be set. ??

I’m another Dreamhost customer who can’t send trackbacks after being able to with 1.5. I know too little to help, though.

I am going to try to make the “View site” link in the admin panel go to execute-pings.php and then redirect to the home page and see if that helps. ??

It seems to work. :shrug:

Gonna keep trying. ??

This solution only sends the first trackback if you have more than one in the field. Bah! I’m going to go back to 1.5 this sucks way too much.

makemead, I did get your trackback earlier. I’m too afraid to try anything just yet.
I’ve been watching the trac closely to see if someone attempts a fix.
It’s picking up interest now, I think.

Generalized preface: I’m not trying to put the kibosh on this thread or others similar.

But really guys. You would probably have got more response sooner from the hackers list. That’s where stuff like this – well, not precisely BELONGS – but at least sometimes gets addressed….

I got 1.5 running again. Sifting through the database wasn’t too difficult or time consuming. It seems so much faster than 2.0.

In essence, the only reason to move to 2.0 is if you like kitschy extras….
