Hi Jeremy.

It’s POSSIBLE I’m confusing the “earlier version” issue with the same problem cropping up in two quickly-released versions of Akismet, but in the present tense, here’s what I know.

Since the latest Jetpack update, Pingbacks I write are not going through. This statement applies to both internal pingbacks and external ones.

If I deactivate Jetpack and edit a page that has outbound URLs, the pingbacks flow. If I deactivate Jetpack before hitting publish the pingbacks flow (and then I reactivate Jetpack). But with Jetpack enabled … nothing.

I understand the ever-popular “maybe it’s an incompatibility with some other plug-in” conversation, and I accept that’s possible, but since the issue started right after the update and since I can address it as I do … I kinda thing it’s a Jetpack “thing”, you know?

BTW: I have only the following Jetpack modules active:

Enhanced Distribution
Extra Sidebar Widgets
Related Posts
Sharing
Subscriptions
Stats

ALSO: I’ve got the related posts widget configured to show six posts instead of the default 3, using this code in my child theme’s functions.php:

<strong>}

function jetpackme_more_related_posts( $options ) {
    $options['size'] = 6;
    return $options;
}
add_filter( 'jetpack_relatedposts_filter_options', 'jetpackme_more_related_posts' );</strong>

Thanks for looking!

Alessandro: I agree with what you say, but we’re pretty sure it isn’t a pre-existing JS error.

As I said, there’s a rationale for why your plug-in would have trouble with the idea of flexible content like an image/post slider. I was hoping you could confirm or deny that problem and perhaps tell me what the fix might me.

BTW: thank the admins here for redacting my URL. I presume they believe I was shooting for promotion, but I was not; I figured if you were to help you’d need to know where to look. And the instructions below actually say that I’m supposed to give you one.

Allesandro, here it is again, in an officially WordPress-authorized manner. Hopefully the admins will do their job correctly this time: http://wordpress.answerguy.com/blog

@jan dembowski : thanks for the documentation. trademark is a scary beast and I appreciate the feedback!

And may I add, these guys are responsive; Nelio is responding to my posts here in the aftermath almost faster than I’m typing them.

Helps me understand, sure 😉 . Thank you for trying!

The CSS code did in fact constrain the image, in the post. Sadly, though, the element that I’m trying to target isn’t seeing the nelio-injected image AS a “featured image”, so I’m still left with no result I can use.

Plays for me as yet another thing to hate about the library and the whole featured-image system in WP.

I don’t imagine that off the top of your head you can think of a simple way (a functions.php addition, perhaps?) to tell WP to see Nelio insertions AS featured images?
