Jeder weiß, dass interne Verlinkung gut für SEO ist. Es ist auch gut für die Benutzererfahrung, weil es dem Benutzer hilft, einen Bezug zu dem herzustellen, worüber in einem bestimmten Artikel gesprochen wird. Seitdem WordPress 3.1 die interne Verlinkung eingeführt hat, haben wir, wie viele andere auch, festgestellt, dass wir viel häufiger als früher auf unsere früheren Beiträge verlinken. Man würde nicht denken, dass dies zu einem Problem wird, bis man bemerkt, dass eine ganze Reihe von Self-Pings auf die eigene Website erfolgt. Manche Leute mögen diese Standardfunktion von WordPress sehr, weil sie ihren Benutzern die Möglichkeit gibt, verwandte Beiträge in den Kommentaren zu verfolgen. Für andere, wie uns, wird dies zu einem Problem, weil wir glauben, dass es unseren Kommentarbereich unübersichtlich macht.
Man könnte meinen, es gäbe eine wahnsinnig schwierige Lösung für dieses Problem, aber es ist ganz einfach. Alles was Sie tun müssen, ist das Plugin No Self Pings herunterzuladen und zu installieren.
Im Gegensatz zu anderen Plugins hat dieses Plugin KEIN super komplexes Einstellungsfeld. Tatsächlich hat es überhaupt kein Einstellungsfeld. Es wurde entwickelt, um eine Sache und nur eine Sache zu tun. Es soll WordPress daran hindern, Pings an Ihre eigene Website zu senden. Plugins wie diese sind ideal, weil sie unauffällig im Hintergrund arbeiten und keinen Einfluss auf die Ladezeit Ihrer Website oder Ihre täglichen Aktivitäten haben.
Haben Sie genug von Self-Pings? Dann schalten Sie sie jetzt mit dem No Self Pings Plugin ab.

The reason the plugin „No Self Pings“ has not been upgraded in in the past 6 years, and is only compatible up to WordPress version 3.0.5 is because no self pings was added to WordPress core with File 5224.patch, 1.0 KB (added by Viper007Bond, 9 years ago)
Remove self-pings via a filter (literal copy/paste of the plugin).

Sorry I just read another post where someone had asked the same question. So am I understanding this right? I install the plugin and then I don’t need to untick the link notification in settings so that we will send pings to other sites?

I wonder what the difference is between using this plugin and going to „settings“ > „discussion“ and unticking „Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)“?

I installed this one just now, about 4 years without updates, will see how it goes. Thanks again for a great post.

This is something I was looking for my site, as it gets really annoying when Wordpress starts to ping back own published posts. Thankyou! But I hope that this outdated plugin may not have any security issues
Editorial Staff
If it did, then we wouldn’t use it on our site

I’m late the party here, and I have a questions. No Self Pings shows compatibility only up to WP 3.0.5 and hasn’t been updated in over two years, a danger sign for me. Does it still work for you?
What about the suggestion above in the comments: „In WordPress Dashboard -> Settings -> Discussion Settings. Uncheck the first option – Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the article. Then it’ll not ping any blog. I think this is best solution. Am I right?“
What do you recommend to get rid of those pesky self-pings currently?
Thanks so much!
Love and light,
Sue

We still have the plugin active on our site. Often the authors forget to update the plugin (using the logic… if nothing is broken, then why update?). From our understanding unchecking the discussion setting, it should do it as long as you are ok with the fact that you would not send ping to other sites.

Hi,
Thank you for the useful tip! I installed the plugin but the linked posts still appear in the comment section. What can I do about that?
Thanks!
Editorial Staff
It doesn’t get rid of existing trackbacks and pingbacks. It only stops future ones. To get rid of trackbacks and pingbacks on existing post, you would have to follow this tutorial:

No Self Pings is a useful plugin, I prefer to manage internal links manually.
