ShortSaleShowI have a plugin which will grab the url from any trackbacks/pingbacks received and convert them to an RSS feed which I can stuff into a reader to kinda "watch" wich blogs are talking about my site.
Unfortunately, it seems that only Pages and Posts are able to receive trackbacks...when people link to my homepage no trackback shows up in the RSS feed. I've tested it by linking to various pages on my main blog from another blog I don't use as much. Only links pointing at pages/posts register a trackback on my main blog, and thus are dropped into the RSS feed. The links pointing at the homepage never show up. (As over 50% of my inlinks are to my blog's homepage, this is a real issue)
As far as I can tell this means that:
A) WordPress doesn't process any trackbacks/pingbacks aimed at the homepage.
B) When creating a post and linking to another sites hompage in the content, WordPress does not bother to send a trackback/pingback, thus none could be registered.
Can someone tell me what the real issue is and if there is a plugin/hack that would enable my blog to "catch" trackbacks/pingbacks pointed at the homepage?
