Title: Trackback questions Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Trackback questions * [drummonds](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drummonds/) * (@drummonds) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackback-questions/) * Hi, everyone, * I’m very new to Word Press and am not sure if I’m seeing a bug in my recent installation or if it’s just my lack of understanding of Word Press and/0r trackbacks. * First, I published a topic on my blog: [http://www.e-scott.net/blog/index.php?p=7](http://www.e-scott.net/blog/index.php?p=7) * Then, I published a second topic in my blog in which I referenced the first ( the anchor text is “christmas travel topic” in the middle of the topic): [http://www.e-scott.net/blog/index.php?p=10](http://www.e-scott.net/blog/index.php?p=10) * I used, as a URI to the first topic, the trackback address that was provided on the bottom. For reference, it is: [http://www.e-scott.net/blog/wp-trackback.php/7](http://www.e-scott.net/blog/wp-trackback.php/7) * However, the trackback information did not show up in the first topic (“Christmas Travel Fun”). Instead, it showed up in an unrelated topic, “Obligatory Blog”: [http://www.e-scott.net/blog/index.php?p=4](http://www.e-scott.net/blog/index.php?p=4) * So, it seems to me that Word Press is incorrectly calling my reference to article 7 a reference to article 4. Either that, or I don’t understand what the hell I’m doing. * Thoughts?

If I saw the same behavior on your site, I still wouldn’t know if what it is doing is correct or not. If it behaved differently, the issue could be do to many more factors than I can comprehend. * To any kind souls out there, I guess my post boils down to the following question: why would a trackback from article ‘B’ to article ‘A’ show up in article ‘C”s trackback list? Article C’s trackback URI is listed _nowhere_ in article B. * Scott * [richards1052](https://wordpress.org/support/users/richards1052/) * (@richards1052) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackback-questions/#post-133496) * A suggestion: trackbacks are generally made to external sites & not one’s own. I’ve never done this myself & I suppose it could be done. But I have a much better solution: try installing the In-Series plugin. It does precisely what you want. If you have a series of posts on the same subject you can create a “series” in which every post in the series would be linked to every other one. It’s really cool & you don’t have to do all the linking manually or even by trackback as you’ve done. * [http://www.skippy.net/](http://www.skippy.net/) * Look for In-Series under Skippy’s Plugin blog category.
