# Trackback not working

 * I recently upgraded to the newest wordpress and now when I sent out a trackback
   ping other websites never get them. How do I fix this?

 * I was having [a similar problem (along with an error message when posting in Safari)](http://wordpress.org/support/3/16440).
   In my case, it turned out that there was a server problem that was causing the
   server not to send back the proper response when posting. When this occurred,
   pings and trackbacks did not go out. (Perhaps someone here who knows how the 
   pinging/tbing process works can explain why this occurs.)
    However, I don’t know
   yet what caused the server problem, though we are still troubleshooting it and
   might have an answer soon, and I can’t say whether your problem stems from the
   same source. It probably wouldn’t hurt to keep an eye on this forum, because 
   if I find the answer to my similar situation, I will post it in the above-linked
   thread. In the meantime, [bookmark this link](http://www.aylwardfamily.com/content/tbping.asp),
   because it allows you to send out trackback pings manually.

 * That’s the opposite problem. In that post, he says that his blog doesn’t _receive_
   trackbacks. This poster says he doesn’t _send_ trackbacks. (Which is the problem
   mine was having along with the Safari errors.)

 * Sorry about that, but I’m not the only one who’s able to search here. Yes, you
   too can search. It’s that little box in the upper-right. [http://wordpress.org/support/3/8823](http://wordpress.org/support/3/8823)

 * No need to be snarky. (And when I post questions here I do search.) You did send
   him to the wrong thread. It is an easy mistake to make and one I certainly would
   be likely to make myself.
    Incidentally, I just checked and my copy of functions.
   php does NOT have that fix, and yet I sent out a trackback just last night, and
   it worked. Why would that be? Is it one of those things where it will work sometimes,
   but not _consistently_ unless I make the fix?

 * My WordPress 1.2.1 installation is not sending pingbacks nor trackbacking. 1.2
   did the trick just fine. I don’t want to downgrade. What should I do?

 * What have you done to test it?
