• We are experiencing some strange problems. Our Blog does not react anymore to pings and trackbacks. I have tried to send them from other blogs but they do not show up anywhere. When comments are entered on our site I get 2 (two) mails for every comment.
    We have installed WordPress 2.0.8 on SQL4.1.21, and PHP 4.4.3. http://tijmen.brinkkemper.com
    Anyone knows how to fix this? I have searched the forum but could not find an answer.

    Does anyone know how to enable trackbacks and pings?

    Drawer – individually, it’s on the right side of every Write Post / Write Page page.

    Options -> Discussions has some options that you might enjoy as well.

    When logged into your blog, don’t be afraid to click around the Options and see what’s there.

    THANK YOU, HandySolo, for a reply.

    I found Options-Discussion in my Admin pages. They are checked off. I have never gotten a trackback about me, however, and a couple of bloggers linked to me a couple of times. Which I found out only because I have Sitemeter on my blog.

    Also, how do I test if my trackback to the OTHER person is working?

    I do not see this in Codex.

    Hi Drawer – here’s a link to a test blog that you could use to test sending and receiving trackbacks.

    This guide may help as well for concepts:
