   Hello I am at a loss to find out what is the problem.
   I am using the current wordpress version (constantly updated from an original wpmu installation) and the rpc pings do not work.
   I have reenabled the functionality so i can enter sites eg. blogpingr but when I write a new post I can see no "ping" in the statistics of the provider I entered there. I wonder wether I should do a complete reinstall of wordpress once but I do not want to do it for time reasons. So any other idea what I can check? I vaguely guess I "lost the feature" at the version level of 2.8 oder 2.9 and did not get it back till now.
   thanks for any help in advance

   I installed the following plugin
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/activate-update-services/

   which brought it back

   I also checked that i see the sites in the settings of the blog
   the following entries are listed there
   http://blogpingr.de/ping/rpc2
   http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2
   http://blogsearch.google.de/ping/RPC2
   http://rpc.pingomatic.com
   http://ping.feedburner.com
   http://blogsearch.google.at/ping/RPC2
   http://rpc.bloggerei.de/ping/
   The first one is the one that I check however it does not show a ping once i post a new article.
   Wherelese can I look - is there a switch that needs to be set to "0" or "1" to enable or disable the functionality?

   Had to do some digging.

   It's the filter enable_update_services_configuration

   You could try putting this in your theme's function.php (or a mu-plugin file).

   remove_filter( 'enable_update_services_configuration', '__return_false' );

   Hi thanks for your help.
   however it does not work and I am not a php expert to be true.
   What I did is add the line you postet to the functions.php of my theme
   Once i did it my site was only reachable by http://zweifachpapa.de
   no longer by "www.zweifachpapa.de" wich without your line redirects to http://zweifachpapa.de
   I also deactivated the "activate update services plugin" and tried with a test post but still no update.

   Well without the plugin, yeah, it doesn't work. The plugin should work, though I've had no reason to use it. I'll poke at it some more.

   tested a few other things.
   deleted and reinstalled the plugin - it still does not work - however unter settings->write I now have the field with the ping sites two times ;-)
   I reentered your line in the functions php. this time near the beginning and not at the end. this way stil http://www.zweifachpaapa.de works and correctly transforms it to http://zweifachpapa.de
   again I created a "test" post and published it and deleted it again but could not find a "ping" at blogpingr.
   thanks anyways for your help and dont bother - if nothing helps i have to reinstall it.

   no blogpingr works i also asked the site owner to check it.
   did some further testing today.
   I installed fiddler and did some perf checking
   eliminated some wrong html code from my amazon advertisements
   eliminated an entry in my theme searching for a non existing background gif. AND: i deactivated wp super cache plugin
   afterwards i got two pings on blogpingr. however i tried to get some other but this time again no chance i created tons of testposts but no blogpingr pings so far

    one other hint.. i run two blog instances
    one is called http://www.netzwerktipps.de and one is http://www.zweifachpapa.de
    the primary blog is netzwerktipps.de which os the one used during installation of wordpress. so now zweifachpapa.de is originally a subsite of netzwerktipps.de called einfachpapa.netzwerktipps.de
    the domain mapping things are done by donchas domain mapping tool so that the site can be accessed via http://www.zweifachpapa.de in the backend administration however it is always einfachpapa.netzwerktipps.de.
    when i post anything on the other blog http://www.netzwerktipps.de blogpingr works fine so somehow it is not the multisite config but maybe something else...

    It's possible the plugin isn't multi DOMAIN aware, though that's interesting. Check your error logs. Got anything in there?

    Hello

    Im the author of Activate Update Service.

    The plugin is reeeally short. And it only does what @Ipstenu suggested doing in the functions.php file. You can see the code here:

    http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/activate-update-services/trunk/activate-update-services.php

    I don't know why it would be affected by the domain or anything like that.
