 * Ever since moving to self-hosted wordpress (jetpack enabled), I have stopped 
   receiving pingbacks. My settings have both of these settings enabled:
 * Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the article
    Allow link notifications
   from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)
 * The only link notifications I receive are from free wordpress blogs. If it is
   a blog hosted with Automattic or self-hosted, pingbacks do not work.
 * I assumed this was an issue with the Jetpack plugin, considering pingbacks half
   work. I’ve since had a rather frustrating exchange on Twitter with Jetpack support(
   since they don’t have support for free accounts); [https://twitter.com/jetpack/status/1192225677971468288?s=20](https://twitter.com/jetpack/status/1192225677971468288?s=20)
 * I’ve essentially been told this is just the way it is, but I kind fo don’t want
   to accept this as fact? For all intents and purposes it SHOULD be working, and
   based on their twitter replies it should be working.
 * Thanks in advance for your time!

 * Thank you for taking the time to respond, but that article does not answer my
   question.
 * When posts of mine are linked to on another blog, I no longer get the notification(
   and pingback comment) of the mention unless the blog is hosted on free wordpress.
   I know these blogs have their “Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the
   article” enabled because prior to moving self-hosted (I moved from a paid wordpress
   plan) I used to receive them.
 * Additionally, it doesn’t appear that the pingbacks I create for other blogs work
   either, despite having my jetpack settings set appropriately. I’d assume this
   is a Jetpack issue but I was repeatedly shut down in that regard.
 * My blogging niche is heavily interactive and collaborative, and we rely heavily
   on pingbacks. I’d really like to find a solution rather than just accept it, 
   because there is no logical reason for this not to function.
