Trackback to my WP2.0 doesn’t work

  • Hi,
    Someone did a trackback to a post in my newly installed WP2.0, but i don’t get any notification of this. I have a custom blog address format, and followed the instructions of what to put in the .htaccess. Everything else seems to work fine. Is there any way i can test tracking back to my own blog easily ?

  • Since I upgraded to 2.0 my trackback URL is totally messed while all other permalinks work.
    It displays always
    ‘www.mindgap.org/%3Crdf:RDF%20xmlns:rdf=’
    in the url …

    I tried already a few things including mentioned patches, renewing the htaccess etc .. but nothing helped so far.

    I also cannot find the error which would lead to the frontpage output:
    ” rel=”trackback”>trackback
    in my code
    <a href="<?php trackback_rdf();?>" rel="trackback"><?php _e('trackback <abbr title="Uniform Resource Identifier"></abbr>'); ?></a>
    Can someone help please?

    mo2this, your issue is separate from the issue in this topic. Perhaps starting your own thread would help you out.

    Is this trackback issue global to WordPress — that is, does this include sites hosted by wordpress.com, which is based on 2?

    No, it seems to only affect some which would point to it being incompatible with some servers. Don’t quote me on that. I’m thinking it has something to do with the trackbacks taking too long to occur which allows some servers to time out before it can work. (Again, this is just a guess).

    Those that have WP2 fail have it fail 100% of the time. It seems more are coming forward everyday with the same problem.

    I think I got it.

    Add execute_all_pings(); near the end of execute-pings.php execute_all_pings();
    _e('Done.');

    ?>

    makemead: I just tested send from and to WP2.0 and trackbacks work now. I noticed the execute_all_pings() function was commented-out in the original execute-pings.php file; I wonder why?

    Ed

    It seems to break again if you have a pingback and a track back in the same post.

    Is there a fix?

    Yes, there is a fix. Go back to WP 1.5

    Is there a script or a way to export my WP2.0 messages into WP1.5? (TextPattern has this great function that imports directly from my WordPress database.)

    Ed

    Going back to 1.5 takes a bit of database tap dancing but it isn’t hard. Just compare the two databases and make sure everything goes back into the right place. Export and import table by table and you should be OK.

    Here is a downgrade script for those that want to go back to 1.5 and have not backed up their database: https://somethingunpredictable.com/?dl=downgrade.php

    Just a public service announcment. I did not try it I did mine myself before I found this. Some may not understand sql as I do and may need this. ??

    Here is a better link with slightly better instructions: https://somethingunpredictable.com/archives/29/12/2005/wordpress-database-downgrader/

    2.0 just isn’t ready yet.

    makemead, my trackbacks and pingbacks are working again with the fix you posted here.

    Seems you have to click “save” to get the tb’s to execute. IOW, “save and continue editing” won’t send them.
    You did a lot of work on this and I appreciate it!
    Are yours working again, yet?

    Actually save doesn’t work either. WP 2.0 says it sends the first TB but it doesn’t and hte others subsequent TB’s never get sent or acknowledged.
