Trackbacks to own blog no longer working
Posted: Tue Jul 09, 2013 9:29 pm
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
