How do I change the label for pingback comments?

    I like to get the automatic self-pingback comments. However, I do not like that they have the format \”Pingback: {Post title}\”. I would like to customize this text, e.g. so that it says \”This post is mentioned in: {Post title}\”. How can I do that?

    I located the text \”Pingback: \” at two places in wp-includes/comment-template.php. But changing those texts doesn\’t seem to do any difference. I don\’t even understand to do this manually, as the comment text doesn\’t seem to be what shows up. When editing the comment it says something like \”[…] {part of post content} […]. However, this text doesn\’t show up at all on my post.

    Any ideas?

    The reason is because it is most likely being handled by your theme.

    In the comments.php you can may be able to find the wp_list_comments() call. Inside of that you will see callback and the function that generates the comment list. It will give you a better idea of what to look for at least. 🙂
