    Thank you

  • Look at a theme that has it and copy the code from there.

    <?php trackback_url(display); ?>
    Put that where you want it, and surround it with tags. If needed.

    Thank to both of you. I appreciate it .. also this may be a stretch, but I have seen in some blogs that the trackback url is in a text box that is easier to copy / paste .. by any chance could you help me out with that?

    Thank you

    Perhaps this would work
    <a href="<?php trackback_url() ?>">Trackback</a>

    I use the implementation that klklaser has quoted above. It works quite well.

    Thanks but I mean like a text FIELD with the link in it, so you can select the link it self and copy / paste it. Do you know what I mean

    In that case, just use: <?php trackback_url() ?>

    <form>
    <input type="text" value="<?php trackback_url() ?>">
    </form>

    Give it a css class to style the crap out of it.

    Kafkaesquí’s idea is, of course, better than mine. ^_^

    Thank you!

    Kafkaesqui .. thank you for this!! Just what I was looking for. I did go to my CSS and put this in there:

    input { width: 375px; }

    Which accomodated the length of my trackback url.

    OK, I added the simple code above in my theme’s comments.php file. My (dumb?) question is, if anyone decides to trackback one of my articles, will this show up in my blog automatically? I think so, but I’m not sure (I’m pretty new at this!).

    Thanks!
