  Hello there,

  A pingback is a notification that will appear in the comments section of a post when someone else links to it.

  More on pingbacks can be found here: https://wordpress.com/support/comments/pingbacks/

  On one of my blogposts, I received a message: “Pingback: The Modernization of the R & B Singles Chart – Billboard Chart Rewind”

  Whitney and Shai Side by Side

  How do I turn off these notifications on my blog posts?

  Thank You

  Hello there,

  This can be done via My Sites → Settings → Discussion and toggle off the option “Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks).”
