No pingback…again
-
pingbacks are still not working for me, and they have in the past. I’ve reviewed everything with a fine tooth comb. I’ve set and reset settings. I’ve read every topic and followed every instruction. Neither blog is getting pinged back from Daily Prompt. How is it possible? If my blogs have been blocked, shouldn’t I received some sort of notice as to the possible reasons why?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Can you please let me know a couple of specific links for pages where your posts are being linked (to generate a pingback), so I can take a look?
-
Not all posts have the problem. The early ones are OK. The later (listed below) did not appear on the Pingback list. BTW…I have not looked recently at old prompt pages to see if that’s changed. What is fascinating is a pingback on my other blog (byldrose.wordpress.com) didn’t “ping” either. I’ve listed that post as well.
THANKS!

Okay, I see what you mean. Are you linking the Daily Prompt post when you publish your posts, or do you add it afterwards?
Can you think of anything different about how you’ve created and published posts that did show up as a pingback from the ones that didn’t?
-
Hi –
I link when I create them. A couple I did afterwards, but that was only in an effort to make the link work. I even trashed a couple posts and started over. The last 3 I’ve done exactly as I have before when it did work. I even went back to using the title structure from before, even though the title is not linked (post title, not link title, which I stopped using as well as I had with the ones that did link). -
That’s very strange then. It seems like it should work.
I haven’t seen any other reports recently of issues with the pingbacks on the Daily Prompts, but I’ll keep an eye out. In the meantime, please watch this issue and see if it continues if you include the DP link when you initially publish posts.
-
OK…Maybe its something with my internet settings. Who knows. I haven’t changed those. Anyway, thanks!

-
Just FYI – I posted two more today and, again, no luck. I posted each differently to test variable. Any chance I’ve been reported, or blocked?
-
Sorry to hear this is still not working. I’ve updated your Discussion settings to notify blogs linked to from the article. Please let me know if this fixes the issue or if it happens again on your next post.
-
Unclear whether I’m to wait until the next time I post, or if I need to check the previous challenges to see if my posts are now listed (I checked a couple, including the two you looked at today. They aren’t listed).
-
Sorry about that.
Please check the next time you post a Daily Prompt response, and let me know.
-
Whatever you did worked! I posted something quick tonight to 365 Daily Prompt and there it was! Let me know for my future reference if I inadvertently deleted something or unclicked a box, etc. etc.
-
Under Settings > Discussion, I checked the box “Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the article”. Do you happen to recall turning that off before? Otherwise, I’m not sure why pingbacks would have worked in the past but stopped recently.
-
I don’t remember doing that, but I had been working on the layout, etc., on both blogs, so I must have inadvertently changed the setting. Thank you again!

Just FYI – I manually added the URL to each of the posts that did not “ping” under “Send Trackbacks” in order to get them on the ping list.
