Trackbacks/Pingbacks Fixed

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.
