  Hi guys, everything okay?

  I am having trouble in how to avoid a new post appearing as a comment in an older post. I guess this happened because on my newly post I referenced in a URL the older post.

  I hope you could help me.

  Here is the scenario more detailed:

  I published the following post “Como documentar seu jogo de maneira efetiva! (Parte 1)”. In this post exists a URL that references a older post “O Game Designer nos dias de Hoje!”.

  After this, in the Admin Tools the comment section reported to me that the site “Como documentar seu jogo de maneira efetiva! (Parte 1)”commented on “O Game Designer nos dias de Hoje!”. And it sounded very awkward for me..

  1. So, how can i avoid this in the future?
  2. What i did to occur to make this happen?
  3. The referencing through an URL is related to that?
  4. This is a bug or a Expected behaviour?

  Thanks in advance!

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

  Go to https://wordpress.com/settings/discussion/ and move the slider for “Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)” to the left. See https://en.support.wordpress.com/comments/pingbacks/ and https://en.support.wordpress.com/comments/trackbacks/ for more details.

  Hi,
  I was already looking in the discussion section but didn’t know that this slider was the right option to deactivate.
  Thanks very much for the fast answer! Cheers!
