  I always copy and paste the ping back. I have posted to the page many times, the last time being May 16 with this post:

  My device is a laptop with Windows 10
  My browser is Firefox 53.0.01

  Thanks!

  Hi there,

  That post of yours does appear on the Daily Post prompt page:

  https://cloudup.com/cD-dE74-_3h

  That said, pingbacks do occasionally fail. Usually you can trigger it by changing the link, for example, from https to http, update the post, and then change the link back. So you can try that. But as your site is not on WordPress.com we don’t have any way of checking if something might be wrong with your site.

  Hi!

  Thanks for the quick response. I am aware that post was on the prompt page, that was the most recent time I was. While my most recent post has the correct pingback but didn’t quite make it…

  Next time I do a prompt response I’ll try your tip.

  Thanks again!

  Try editing the link on your most recent post. That might trigger the pingback to still go through.

  Then I’m afraid I don’t know. As I mentioned above, pingbacks do fail sometimes. There might be something on your site that’s preventing them from sending, but as I don’t have access to your dashboard there’s no way for me to investigate.

  Did you recently have any plugins or themes that updated? That might have changed something.

  You can also try asking in the self-hosted forums if the users there know of any reason why pingbacks would stop working.
