  Hi,

  I did some search on the topic on support pages and on the forums, but with little success (see below).

  When writing posts on my blog <http://brokeringclosure.wordpress.com&gt; I frequently want to link certain older posts I wrote some time ago. When I create a link with a usual mechanism, and using the permalink to the archived post, I’m getting annoying pingbacks. This behavior was described here:

  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/pingbacks-in-internal-links?replies=1#post-190699

  As the post is from 2008 I was thinking that perhaps the problem is resolved in some neat way. Perhaps some form of shortcode could be used? Like [archives:title_of_the_archived_post] etc….

  So:

  What’s the best way to add links to archived post within the blog so that pingpacks are not triggered?

  Thanks in advance!

  Michal

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  uh, ok i think I misinterpreted the functionality.

  You are getting pingbacks but to the older posts. So:

  If you wrote a post A and later on wrote a post B which links to A then you will get pingbacks as comments to post A that there exist post B that is linking to it.

  Which is actually quite neat… :)

  Nevertheless, some short mechanim for including links to the archives that would speed-up typing would be nice.
