  Pingbacks to previously posted blog posts are not working today. They worked fine yesterday and before.

  Today’s post has 4 links to previously posted blogs and none are showing up.

  Hope this is resolved soon.

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

  Where did you create the post? New Dash Editor? WP Admin Editor?

  Hi Jennifer. Thanks for responding so quickly.

  I only use the classic editor. I tried it on Chrome as well as my usual browser, Firefox. It didn’t work for either.

  Hi there,

  It does look like pingbacks are not working. I’ve asked our developers to take a look and will get back to you asap. Thanks for the report!

  @dandelionsalad – Here’s an official announcement from The Daily Post, so it’s not just you. :/

  Just to clarify – while the above article does have to do with pingbacks in general and The Daily Post in particular, this forum thread has to do with self-pingbacks (pinging an earlier post on the same site) and not pingbacks to The Daily Post, regardless of having been tagged “The Daily Post.”

  Thanks, Jennifer. I saw that bloggers were wondering why the pingbacks weren’t working for the Daily Post in other Forum threads. Don’t know why this thread is tagged “The Daily Post”?

  I am surprised other bloggers haven’t noticed that the pingbacks are not working on their own blogs.

  Hope this gets fixed soon.

  Pingbacks are working again, but I do have to update each of the posts I’ve made since they stopped working.

  Glad they are working again, but updating the relevant post is the only way to “shake” the post into sending those pingbacks.

  I guess the community at large may not know how useful pingbacks and especially self-pings can be when you want to update information on an earlier post or reference an earlier post. So if you don’t mind, I’ll just leave this here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/comments/pingbacks/ :)

  I use them on almost every new blog post. The readers find them useful for related posts.
