[videoblogging] wordpress theme/code help?
I'm pretty decent at php and wordpress themes and what not ... but something is broken on my site and I cannot figure out why. My site just will not receive pingbacks or trackbacks. It seems to send them ok, but it doesn't receive them. I also see no evidence of them in the wp database (so I'm fairly sure its more than them just not being displayed ... they aren't even in the database) Is there anyone who really understands how all that pingback/trackback stuff works inside wordpress who might be able to help me troubleshoot?

well it has the same permissions as every other wordpress file on the site. For testing I changed it to 774 and still no good. - Dave On Feb 19, 2008 9:53 AM, Markus Sandy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Feb 19, 2008, at 6:44 AM, David Meade wrote: My site just will not receive pingbacks or trackbacks.

Re: [videoblogging] wordpress theme/code help?
I have a gut feeling that the problem relates to using pretty permalinks. There are functions in wordpress which attempt to get the post ID from the permalink, and these functions are called when a pingback comes in. On my test blog (with default permalink structure) pingbacks work fine. But at DavidMeade.com where permalinks are in the form of http://www.davidmeade.com/archives/419 the pingbacks aren't working. I'm wondering if wordpress is trying to get the post id in some way that is not compatible with the permalink structure I'm using. I just don't know enough about this process works to know exactly where it might be breaking. - Dave On Feb 19, 2008 10:19 AM, David Meade [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: well it has the same permissions as every other wordpress file on the site.
