I have just updated my blog with the latest Wordpress 2.6.1. I tend to skip the newer version most of the time because it is usually buggy when a new version come out. After updates, I will always need to remember to install back my autoping specifically for PetalingStreet (PPS)
Liewcf have written previously about AutoPing PPS from Wordpress 1.5 but because the version had changed. It is best that we edit them manually from the latest version.
It is very simple, all you need to do is to edit “edit-form-advanced.php”.
- Go to wp-admin
- Look for “edit-form-advanced.php”
- Go to line 283
- Look for
value="' . attribute_escape( str_replace("\n", ' ', $post->to_ping) ) .'"
- add PPS Trackback link as follows (assume it is http://www.petalingstreet.org/ping/
value="http://www.petalingstreet.org/ping/ ' . attribute_escape( str_replace("\n", ' ', $post->to_ping) ) .'"
Note: Change the petaling street trackback url to the actual given to you when you register yourself with PPS.
There is cons to this because if you accidentally publish a post, it will be broadcast almost instantly. Unless you schedule them to be posted later.
Cool, but it’s because of the con that is holding me back to install this…
Hey.. Thanks for sharing the tips. It helpful especially to those who has non-technical background blogger.
Good job!
Gallivanter : Yup, if you have time, it would be better to do it manually by copying the trackback link.
fooi: np
I get so friggin annoyed with Wordpress. New versions every month and updating isn’t even an easy task especially if you’ve customized it!
btw, changing wordpess core file is not recommneded.
LiewCF : now only say….hehe….
adding a line into a field would not hurt…the only problem is that sometimes PPS receives 3 pings
thanks for the tip man. waiting to see if it works
sick of ppls telling me “no ping url”
does anyone know what that means?
A tool that I have used on my Wordpress blogs is called Autobuzzer by a website name BlogBuzzer.com. It is just a snippet of html code and will automatically ping your blog on a preset basis.
