   I know there are many people comnplaining about this but NONE of the answers seem to help me that I am seeing. I can't seem to get ANY trackback or Pingback working for my site. It used to work so I know it's not my server, but since the update which I did from 1.5 to 2.02, nothing works. It also cannot be the theme, because I turn on Kubrick and it still doesnt work. I've also tried re-uploading my upgrade files etc, NOTHING. I've tested at that UK site that all are linking to and nothing there either. Basically, when I post, it doesnt update to pingomatic and when I try to trackback to my own articles form within and from other servers I dont get any response, meaning NO moderation, or posting of the trackback.

   Please can anyone help me or send me the link to where I can download 1.5 again and atleast get the trackbacks going?

   Thank you for ANY help in advance...

   is the place, but downgrading to 1.5 is NOT easy. There were database changes..

   It's all very unsupported..

   One final thing....

   The problem was that at the end of my permalink, the /trackback/ was missing.... when I myself tested thats the only way it worked.... just the permalink didnt... thats fine but how do I make it so it shows /trackback/ at the end automatically?

   Here's the function I put in which is standard Kubrick...

   " rel="trackback">trackback

   That leaves me with this as a trackback link:

   but what I need is:

   http://www.athene.biz/index.php/archive/mamets-insight/trackback/

   How do I insert this into the code to make it auto?

   I know, more than likely a silly question... but my fingers are crossed.

   Toes too :-)
