Trackbacks/Pingbacks Fixed

by Kabitzin on August 24, 2007 in Blogging Tips,Site News

Even though the site was sending requests out correctly, it was odd how trackbacks never ever showed up in the comments section. Well, I finally found the solution:

I have added this to my .htaccess file:

<Files xmlrpc.php>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</Files>

At first I thought trackbacks were sorta useless, because I can see incoming links on my dashboard. However, trackbacks are very useful for linking related posts on your blog, because otherwise it is a pain to update all old posts to show that you have more information on a newer post. Also, I found that I do sometimes click on trackback links in other people’s comment sections.
