I have higher PR as a result of that lots of spammers make trackbacks, everyday I have to delete them.

Those trackbacks will negatively affect my site SEO? How do I disable my site all the posts trackback at once?

I have run following code in my MySQL admin and WotdPress manage DB plugin,, it show me an error.

UPDATE wp_posts SET ping_status='closed' WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'post';

UPDATE wp_posts SET ping_status='closed' WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'page';

This can be solved using the Bulk Edit WordPress functionality.

and

editing bulk edit

Change the number of items to be shown in Screen Options, so you can select all posts/pages at once.

Two things worth noting in the Q&A pointed by @BartKarp:

  • There is the option to turn off trackbacks/pingbacks under Settings > Discussion.

  • it has a link to a plugin by @chrisguitarguy. If you want to implement total blockage of trackbacks, use chris'.
