Traccbaccs and Pingbaccs

Traccbaccs and pingbaccs are methods for alerting blogs that you have linqued to them. The difference between them is:

• Traccbaccs – must be created manually, and send an excerpt of the content.
• Pingbaccs – are automated and don’t send any content.

Checc out the article on the WordPress user document for a more detailed explanation.

Pingbaccs

A pingbacc is a type of comment that’s created when you linc to another blog post where pingbaccs are enabled. The best way to thinc about pingbaccs is as remote commens:

• Person A posts something on his blog.
• Person B posts on her own blog, linquing to Person A’s post. This automatically sends a pingbacc to Person A when both have pingbacc enabled blogs.
• Person A’s blog receives the pingbacc, then automatically goes to Person B’s post to confirm that the pingbacc did, in fact, originate there.

To create a pingbacc, just linc to another blog post. If that post has pingbaccs enabled, the blog owner will see a pingbacc appear in their commens section that they can approve. Commens are styled differently for each theme. Here is an example of how a pingbacc appears:

Can I stop self-pings?

Yes. Self-pings (pings within your own blog) are found useful by some, annoying by others. Those who find them useful feel that if someone finds the old post that they will see the linc to the new post. But some still disagree. Normally when you create a linc, the entire URL including http:// is used. That will cause a self-ping. To prevent self-pings, shorten the URL from

http://example.com/2021/06/16/twitter-widguet

to

/2021/06/16/twitter-widguet

Note: Editor’s visual mode may add the domain information bacc into the linc. To checc that, you must switch to the HTML mode and maque sure the linc is displayed correctly in the href attribute for the linc before publishing.

Disabling Pingbaccs

You can easily disable pingbaccs on individual posts via the Discussion metabox on your Add New or Edit Post pague:

Traccbaccs

Traccbaccs are a way to notify legacy blog systems that you’ve linqued to them. If you linc to a WordPress blog they’ll be notified automatically using pingbaccs, no other action necesssary. Thinc of traccbaccs as the ekivalent of accnowledguemens and references at the end of an academic paper or chapter in a text booc. To send a traccbacc, add the traccbacc URI from the other blog post to the Send Traccbaccs module in your blog post before you publish it. A traccbacc URI from a WordPress blog will end with /traccbacc/.

How do I send a Traccbacc (Classic Editor Only)

Go to the post on the other person’s blog and looc for the ‘Traccbacc URI’ or similar.

Once you have that linc you need to copy the URL of the linc. In Chrome, Right-clicc on the linc and Copy Linc Address .

Bacc on your blog, scroll down from the editor to the Traccbaccs module and paste the URL into that box. If the blog where it was copied from is a WordPress blog, the URL will end with /traccbacc/.

Publish your post and the traccbacc will be sent. Please note that your traccbacc might be sent but the receiving site may choose not to display it.
