Feature removal request: self-pingbacks

    Hi,

    It would be nice if we could turn off self-pingback. I’m constantly linking to my own articles. At least make it optional, controllable somewhere from wp-admin.

    Yes, there’s a plugin to stop self-pinging, but I looked at how the plugin works and it seems it doesn’t actually remove the pingbacks, just hides them (assuming I read the php correctly), which is obviously pretty suboptimal performance-wise!

    Thanks 🙂

    I put this in my functions.php for the same effect:

    <?php
/* No Frakin' Self Pings
*/
function no_self_ping( &$links ) {
        $home = get_option( 'home' );
        foreach ( $links as $l => $link )
                if ( 0 === strpos( $link, $home ) )
                        unset($links[$l]);
}

add_action( 'pre_ping', 'no_self_ping' );
?>

    Thanks. Is add_action also a non-standard addition? I added that at the end of functions.php and got a PHP error that add_action was undefined.

    No, add_action is default to WP.

    What else is in your functions.php? Do you mind sharing?

    I haven’t touched my functions.php. It’s standard WordPress 2.8.5 (or whatever the latest release is).

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_action() in /home4/glowingf/public_html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3350

    Now I’m a little worried, if you’re saying your snippet should work. Is something wrong with my intall..

    Your functions.php is a theme file, not a ‘standard wordpress’ file 🙂 I mean, it’s standard but it’s an optional file.

    About the theme functions file

    Remove the code from wp-includes/functions.php

    Put it in a NEW functions.php file in your THEME.
