[resolved] Pingbacks: How stop my site from pinging my site when I link to my own articles? (7 posts)

    Must be some way to do this.

    When I include a link to another article on my own blog, I then get a pingback notice in the comments.

    For instance, see: http://www.wordpress.org/support

    Notice the comment is a pingback from another post on my blog in which I referred readers to this post.

    How can I stop the pinging from happening on internal links?

    Thanks,
    kwc

    Use relative path.

    Good. 'Relative Path' as explained at tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/ping is exactly what I needed.

    You guys are good!

    Use relative patch when addressing to posts on your blog. For instance you want to link to http://yourblog.com/hello.html

    <a href="/hello.html">This Page</a>

    Don't paste the complete link there, which brings ping back to you, I am sure an exact solution has not been found for this, either stop complete pinging or use relative path for now, and this might be fixed in future versions.

    this page = /hello.html and instead of addressing that, it changed to hello.html at wordpress.

    Sorry about that :)!

    You can also just use this plugin and never have to remember anything special: No Self Pings
