 * I’ve noticed that since using the Webmention plugin, pingbacks appear to be enabled
   for the posts and pages I create, even though pingbacks are disabled within the
   discussion settings of my site.
 * Are pingbacks a requirement for Webmentions to work, or can I disable them on
   all my posts/pages?
 * Thanks,
 * Kev

 * Answered my own question by accidentally disabling pingbacks.
 * **Yes, you need pingbacks turned on.**
