Pingbacks have stopped working on my posts
-
HI guys, please help. Seemingly overnight my posts will no longer allow me to enter a pingback. Case in point, this week’s photo challenge. I can’t link to it on my blog post. I created a brand new post and experimented there to see what would happen. Same thing – cut and paste doesn’t work. I went to a Word document and cut and paste there, and it worked like a charm. Can you help me, please?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We do nor “enter pingbacks” at all ever. So let’s get this straight please. By default every WordPress blog generates a pingback every time we create a properly formed link in any post or any page. See here please http://en.support.wordpress.com/comments/pingbacks/ For some unknown reason those who participate in The Daily Post Challenges seem to have trouble with this.

This is the guide for creating links in posts and pages: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/
This is the general link model:
<a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>
This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked here in the forum.
Highlighted anchor text here1. Enter the relevant descriptive anchor text you want to link to first. Note that “click here” is not a good choice.
2. Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
3. Next click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link. -
Thank you. I have participated in over a dozen Weekly Photo Challenges and never had a problem until yesterday. My terminology may be off (“enter a pingback”) but my methodology worked perfectly until yesterday. I had always gone to the URL of the Weekly Photo Challenge post, copy and pasted it, and then clicked it into my post’s body. Yesterday that didn’t work. What I ended up doing was creating a link and that did work. Thank you for your help.
