I have a similar problem. I just started blogging a few months ago and installed WP 2.0.x version. I was never able to display pingbacks or trackbacks on my blog.
I read in this support forum that upgrading to 2.1 will solve the problem. I have since upgraded – but I still do not see any pingbacks or trackbacks to my blog.
the blog address is http://www.iqi-sm.com/blog/
I do have the header information in place, the xmlrpc.php file and `<!–
<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
–>` in my comments.php file.
I also have the relevant boxes checked in the discussion options. I do have the email required option checked.
This not working is driving me up the wall. Please help.
solution (works for me):
add code below after $_COOKIE = array ();
if ( !isset( $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA ) ) {
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents( 'php://input' );
}
