 * I’m having some problems with Trackbacks and I’m not sure what to check.
    I tried
   posting a trackback for a previous post on my website and it doesn’t showup. 
   I’m not sure where to start looking for the problem. The trackbacks never show
   up in the comments.
 * Website: [http://www.cigarjack.net](http://www.cigarjack.net)
    I’ve got a Custom
   Template.
 * I’ve also upgraded to 1.5.2
 * I’m unsure of where to look next for the problem.

 * Type the URL of post 1 into the body of post2
 * post 1 will then have the trackback (or reference of the url) from post 2
 * make sure allow
 * or
    put the permanent url (permalink – whole url – [http://whatever.com/this](http://whatever.com/this))
   of post 1 into the “send trackbacks to” of post2
 * make sure allow pings is checked

 * I also verified the Allow Pings was turned on. I’ve used Typepad before this 
   so I am familiar in how to use a TrackBack.

 * Update, I’m able to send trackbacks to other people, but income trackbacks aren’t
   happening. I even checked the table in mysql. They aren’t even showing up there.
   Can anyone point to what I might look into for the problem. I’ve read everything
   I can. I tried redalt and other trackback testing sites but I can’t think of 
   anything else.

 * I feel like an idiot. I didn’t realize I had Ir2Spam plugin enabled. As soon 
   as I disabled that everything started working.
