Most of the users who have commented have link to their official urls.
I don’t see this. Every commenter on the post has their name linked to their WordPress.org profile page.
You’re probably looking at the pingbacks!
Thanks for the reply George but i am looking: How Most of the users who have commented have link to their official URLs? When I post a comment, its shows my WordPress profile URL but I see that in many comments, it takes you to their official website
I understood what you said, James. But it seems you’re not getting what I’m saying. I believe you’re still mistakingly taking the pingbacks to be local comments.
Please see the annotated screenshot below.
The post you linked to has only 4 actual comments left by people who visited the post and left comments on the post: yours and 3 others. And all these 3 other comments have the commenters’ names linked to their WordPress profile, just like yours.
All the other “comments” on the page — 10 of them as of now — that are linked to external “official URLs” are NOT actual local comments, but pingbacks.
If you’re not familiar with pingbacks and trackbacks, I’ll advise you to take a quick read through the link I gave earlier, as I believe that’s the missing link in your question.
And if I have indeed completely misunderstood your question, please cite one example of these comments where the commenter’s name is linked to an external “official URL” (a screenshot with a pointer will be excellent here), so I can take a look.
Thank you.
I got your point George and you clarified my query very well, can you let me know what I need to do to get a pingback like this from my blog. As I am writing on the same topics.
can you let me know what I need to do to get a pingback like this from my blog.
1) Ensure “Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the post” in SETTINGS => DISCUSSIONS is checked in your WordPress dashboard.
2) Add a link from your own post to the external blog post that you want to send a pingback to.
