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. > > 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.
