I`m struggling on how to remove this from my posts – there are no reason for anyone to read all the pingbacks):
Still – I dont want to remove other websites possibility to link to my website – just remove them visuallyalso I want to remove “Author” which also consists of tags and categories.

You do not have to approve any pingback at all. They are found in your comments section and just like comments they must be approved to be displayed. Read more here https://en.support.wordpress.com/comments/pingbacks/

Yes, you can remove those but it is not free of charge to do so. See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ that contains a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing:

Answer number one:
But all the pingbacks are my own hihi…I really need to approve them.
They link to my own posts -
Answer 2:
I am premium already(:
Ok so this is a CSS issue as well, I wonder why theres not a simple “show visually” option in the admin

Ahh…I think I understand – If I unapprove it, the linking will work but will stay invisable on the post(?)
I am reading it(:
Sorry – I am noob – fixing small issues takes ages

What I mean is – the article doesnt say anything about removing old pingbacks, only how to prevent it from happening (future)
-
So bottom line – if I link to my own posts which is totally nessesary when running a buisness, I have to approve the pingback and have no other option than leaving it as “not a very pretty sight” in the bottom of all my posts?(?)

You don’t have to approve them, no. If you link to your own posts, the links will work, regardless of whether you approve the pingback on the target post or not.

Simply open the post/page in the editor and delete/unapprove the pingback. That won’t break the link from the other post.

You’re welcome :)
Also read again what @timethief said above – You don’t have to approve pingbacks at all if you don’t want them to display. That won’t affect the incoming link.
