Wordpress 2.0 Trackback

There is a problem when I have upgraded wordpress from version 1.5.2 to 2.0. The trackback does not work! Everytime I write a new post I need to manually send trackback to blogtal.com and petalingstreet.org.

Anyway, AhKnight has a quick workaround for the trackback bug in Wordpress 2.0. You need update the ‘to_ping’ field in ‘wp-post’ database table to a zero length empty string.

Read his post for more information: Fixed Wordpress 2.0 Trackback Issue

Edited: Yes, It really work. I saw my trackback ping at blogtal.com and petalingstreet.org. Great Job Knight!

    Something else that doesn’t work: Your RSS stream! I think you have a problem with your .htaccess configuration. It is showing entries like Wordpress 2.0 Trackback. I’m getting 404 page errors when trying to load it.

    When I first heard the WP2 is going to be released, I really wanted to upgrade it as soon as possible. However, by the time I’m free enough to upgrade it, all I heard is BUG! I’m really in doubt now. There’s even people who downgrades back to 1.5 after facing too many bug. I’m really disappointed.
