Trackbacks to own blog no longer working

Post by paux »

Hi!

In my blog, I often refer (and link) to older blogposts such that these get a trackback entry to a follow-up post.

However, this is no longer working: I always get a "trackback successful", but in the Comments section of the backend nothing new shows up. How can I debug this?

I have problems with this since a long time already, and I always thought it might have something to do with using https on the backend (writing and publishing articles) vs. http on the frontend. I often tried to switch to http before publishing an article, and sometimes this fixed that behavior. I tried a lot recently, disabling anti-spam plugins, moving the trackback control up in the list, changing settings, adding URLs in the Trackback Control section. I won't provide a load of config lists/settings here unless requested, as I wouldn't know where to start. What details should I provide?

Thanks,
Stephan

Ah, OK, logging is key:

REJECTED Filtered by Akismet.com Blacklist: true

What? Am I on the Akismet blacklist? How can I check this?

Hi
Akismet is an external service. Have a look at http://xtendedview.com/wordpress/why-i- ... -that/379/. Good luck!
