  Hi there,

  Can you give me a link to one or two posts that aren’t receiving pingbacks correctly? I’d be happy to take a closer look for you.

  Hi Rachel,
  so nice of you if you would check this out!

  I wrote this post:
  http://wampiremoon.wordpress.com/2013/11/12/fotbollsgalan-stolpe-ut/

  And entered this post: http://blogg.sydsvenskan.se/gatu/2013/11/11/ar-146-herrlandskamper-fler-an-187-damditon/
  where I wanted a pingback, both as a link directly in my original post and below it, You know in the discussion box, ” allow trackback for this post” but my post did not show up as a comment on the requested site.
  What am I doing wrong??

  Thanks for sending those links. The site at blogg.sydsvenskan.se is the site that should have received the pingback, right? That’s a self-hosted WordPress site (not hosted at WordPress.com), which means that the support staff here at WordPress.com can’t access the files and information to troubleshoot problems that appear there.

  Self-hosted sites using the WordPress.org software are separate from sites here at WordPress.com — you can learn more about that here: WordPress.com and WordPress.org

  It’s possible that a plugin or other setting on that site is interfering with the pingback, but unfortunately there’s not much more I can do to help figure out what’s happening on that end. You can, however, get additional help for self-hosted WordPress sites at these links:

  • http://wordpress.org/support/
  • http://codex.wordpress.org/

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)

  Hi there,

  Sure thing! Thanks for sending those links.

  I see that you actually made a trackback to that post, which is slightly different from a pingback.

  If you link to a WordPress.com blog post in your post content, it will automatically send a pingback to that blog. (You don’t need to do any thing more to create the pingback.)

  However, if you use the Send Trackbacks module in the editor to send a trackback, you need to be sure to use the trackback URL for that post. That’s different from the permalink to the post. For WordPress.com blogs, you can add trackback/ to the end of the permalink to create the trackback URL, like this:

  Det som är bra för hälsan är ofta bra för miljön

  If you enter that URL in the Send Trackbacks module, the trackback should work as expected. Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
