I'm going to go out on a limb here and say they are pretty useless, in fact I would say they are even a nuisance. The idea was novel when it first came out and it was for a brief moment useful, but those days are over. I never enable pingbacks because they seem to actually discourage discussion, and are highly abused by SEO spam. Trackbacks might be ...

Changing the global Trackbacks setting via Dashboard -> Settings -> Discussion will only change the default behavior. If you currently have existing posts/pages with trackbacks enabled, changing the default setting will not change the per-post setting. You will need to go to Dashboard -> Posts, select all posts, and batch-edit them to disable ...

For numbering, in your comment.php, change this: wp_list_comments('callback=mytheme_comment'); To this: wp_list_comments(array( 'callback'=>'mytheme_comment', 'style'=>'ol', )); For separation into comments and pingbacks, you'd do something like this: wp_list_comments(array( 'callback'=>'mytheme_comment', 'style'=>'ol', ...

The first you do: separate regular comments and pingbacks. In your comments.php set the type parameter for both: <ol class="commentlist"> <?php // show regular comments wp_list_comments( array ( 'type' => 'comment', 'style' => 'ul' ) ); ?></ol> <ol class="pinglist"> <?php // show pingbacks and ...

This code was tested in a local testing Multisite. Seems ok, but found a minor glitch: - after running it all drafts/pending posts disappear from the listing page, but appear again after a refresh, no idea why... Although I believe it's pretty harmless, please backup your database before running this /* * Turn off trackback/pingbacks and comments on all ...

Since you're listing pings separately from comments, you probably need to filter get_comments_number to exclude pings. Here's how I do it: <?php function oenology_comment_count( $count ) { // Only filter the comments number // in the front-end display if ( // WordPress conditional that returns true if // the current page is in the WP-Admin back-end ! ...

It depends how you link the sites. Wordpress is very particular. If you link it with http://... at the beginning, then Wordpress will generate a pingback. If you do a relative link, then Wordpress will nto generate a pingback. Whether this applies to subdomains as much as to cross-domains, I can't say. But, try linking them with full liks (http://...) to ...

Technically, you could, but it wouldn't make sense to do this. A ping isn't a comment. Nobody wrote on your blog. It's simply notification from a ping-enabled site that shows that site linked to your post. The site that included your link might be a scrapper site, a spammer, or someone who legitimately refers to your post. Either way, they would never see ...

you may use this plugin : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/disabler/ i found this function somewhere on the internet (but can't remember where...). it may do what you are looking for : // Remove self pings add_action( 'pre_ping', 'my_no_self_ping' ); function my_no_self_ping( &$links ) { $home = get_option( 'home' ); foreach ( $links as $l ...

By default WordPress does not display an avatar for a pingback or a trackback - do they even contain an e-mail address? You can add these to the get_avatar_comment_types filter if you want to change this.

Q: Are pingbacks sent immediately when a post is published, or are they scheduled as a cron job? If the later is correct, how often does the job run and can I trigger it manually? A: You can install core control (wordpress plugin) to find out more. Q: Are there any other terms for PBs to be sent besides having "Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from ...
