Title: Trackbacks ! Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Trackbacks ! * [e-head](https://wordpress.org/support/users/e-head/) * (@e-head) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackbacks-2/) * I’m guilty of “hacking” (more like screwing up 🙂 my wordpress installation to death. * Now … are trackbacks supposed to get spit out during the comments loop in wp- comments ? * Are there special tags to spit out the trackbacks ? I may have just deleted them for all I know, after installing wordpress. * I tried to do a trackback from my test blog to my “real” blog, but nothing really cool happened, and I was expected bright lights and pretty colors. 🙂 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * [7milesdown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/7milesdown/) * (@7milesdown) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackbacks-2/#post-128494) * I just recently got my trackbacks going, but Im not sure how to get others trackbacks to appear on my site either…LOL. looks like we are both clueless * Thread Starter [e-head](https://wordpress.org/support/users/e-head/) * (@e-head) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackbacks-2/#post-128497) * Hey, I’m going to track you back with an entry right now … I think your supposed to see a little diddy (like a comment) on your original entry, pointing back to my entry. * I’m going to try it with a Doctors Note. * my blogs here: [http://dotsandloops.net](http://dotsandloops.net) * Note : I think you have to allow pingbacks for this to work (see post entry in admin page). * [NuclearMoose](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nuclearmoose/) * (@nuclearmoose) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackbacks-2/#post-128500) * Assuming you allow *backs, they should appear automagically in your comments section. There were some 1.2 installs that had a trackback bug, but that has been addressed in later builds. * Thread Starter [e-head](https://wordpress.org/support/users/e-head/) * (@e-head) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackbacks-2/#post-128506) * we need a trackback testing place … would somebody be kind enough to trackback one of my posts ? just so I can see if it works ? * Thread Starter [e-head](https://wordpress.org/support/users/e-head/) * (@e-head) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackbacks-2/#post-128507) * O.K. , i managed to successfully ping back another blog … but it’s hard testing the other direction. * Is “Allow Pings” in the Post entry form where you enable trackbacks ? * [NuclearMoose](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nuclearmoose/) * (@nuclearmoose) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackbacks-2/#post-128511) * What version of WP are you using, e-head? * Thread Starter [e-head](https://wordpress.org/support/users/e-head/) * (@e-head) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackbacks-2/#post-128527) * I’m using 1.2.1 NM. * I DO have the “Allow link notifications from other Weblogs” option checked. * Having said that, I have “hacked” a bit on the wordpress code. * Should I see a “trackback.php” entry in my apache log ? Can you give me something I can search for in the apache log to see what’s going on ? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackbacks-2/#post-128529) * Upgrade to WP v1.2.2, the xmlrpc.php file was updated.

You need to have “Allow link notifications from other Weblogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)” checked. * [7milesdown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/7milesdown/) * (@7milesdown) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackbacks-2/#post-128565) * It is checked. Its been checked since I started with WP. Hmmm. very interesting that its not working. I tried to ping back your site and I have the same problem. Nothing is showing up. Grrr. * [tomatoma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomatoma/) * (@tomatoma) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackbacks-2/#post-128750) * mmm I’ve just upgraded to 1.2.2, and my trackbacks are working nicely with clean urls, but if use the “pinging list” in “options – writing options”, both incomming and outgoing trackbacks stop working ¿Am I doing something wrong? * thanks * [kapeka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kapeka/) * (@kapeka) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackbacks-2/#post-128752) * I observed the same strange behavior like tomatoma. My Trackback didn’t work. After deleting the Pingback URLs in the writing Options it works suddenly. * [araneo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/araneo/) * (@araneo) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackbacks-2/#post-128776) * tomatoma and kapeka’s trick solved my problem as well. * This has to be a bug, right? I can’t see why it would be deliberate, unless maybe to stop an infinite loop, but there should be better ways to control that.
