Czy kiedykolwiek widziałeś „trackbacki” i „pingbacki” w WordPressie i czułeś się zdezorientowany? Nie martw się, wiele osób to robi. Są to narzędzia WordPress do blogowania, których nawet niektórzy doświadczeni użytkownicy nie do końca rozumieją.
Pracujemy z WordPressem od dłuższego czasu i dobrze znamy trackbacki i pingbacki. Mogą one być pomocne, ale mogą też powodować problemy. Zostały stworzone, aby pomóc blogom rozmawiać ze sobą, ale teraz spamerzy często ich nadużywają.
W tym przewodniku wyjaśnimy w prosty sposób, czym są trackbacki i pingbacki. Pokażemy, jak działają i jak z nich korzystać (lub je wyłączyć, jeśli ich nie chcesz).
Skorzystaj z poniższych odnośników, aby poruszać się po różnych tematach poruszonych w tym artykule:
Co to jest Trackback?
Trackback w WordPressie jest jak przyjazna wiadomość między dwiema witrynami internetowymi. Gdy jedna witryna wspomina lub odnośnik do wpisu na innej witrynie, wysyła trackback, aby poinformować o tym drugą witrynę. Oto jak to działa:
- Załóżmy, że piszesz wpis na WordPressie. W twoim wpisie umieszczasz specjalny odnośnik zwany adresem URL trackback do innego wpisu na innej witrynie internetowej WordPress. To jak tajny kod znajdujący się w informacjach odnośnika do wpisu.
- Kiedy publikujesz swój wpis, witryna wysyła link zwrotny do odnośnika, który załączyłeś. Ten trackback zawiera szczegóły dotyczące twojego wpisu, takie jak jego tytuł i krótki fragment tekstu.
- Druga witryna WordPress otrzymuje twój trackback i sprawdza, czy jest to ważny i odpowiedni odnośnik. Działa to jak przyjazne sprawdzenie, czy twój wpis dobrze pasuje do ich wpisu.
- Jeśli wszystko się powiedzie, trackback pojawi się w sekcji komentarzy odnośnika do wpisu. Wygląda on nieco inaczej niż zwykłe komentarze, zazwyczaj pokazując tytuł twojego wpisu i fragment jego treści.
Czym jest Pingback?
Pingback w WordPressie to automatyczna wiadomość, którą jedna witryna wysyła do drugiej, gdy umieszcza odnośnik do jej treści. Oto jak działa pingback w WordPress:
- Piszesz wpis z odnośnikiem do innego wpisu na innej witrynie WordPress.
- Kiedy publikujesz swój wpis, Twoja witryna WordPress automatycznie wysyła pingback do strony, do której odnośnik został zamieszczony. Ten pingback zawiera szczegóły dotyczące twojego wpisu, takie jak jego tytuł i trochę tekstu.
- Druga witryna WordPress otrzymuje twój pingback i sprawdza, czy odnośnik jest dobry i ma sens. To przyjazne sprawdzenie, czy twój wpis dobrze pasuje do ich wpisów.
- Jeśli wszystko wygląda dobrze, pingback pojawia się w sekcji komentarzy wpisu, do którego prowadzi odnośnik, jako odnośnik do twojej witryny.
Pingbacki działają również w obrębie twojej witryny. Oznacza to, że jeśli umieścisz odnośnik do jednego z twoich własnych artykułów na tej samej witrynie, WordPress automatycznie wyśle pingbacka do siebie.
Nazywa się to self-pingiem, a gdy zaczniesz regularnie blogować, możesz uznać pingi za irytujące. Nie martw się, można je łatwo wyłączyć, co pokażemy w dalszej części tego artykułu.
Jaka jest różnica między trackbackami a pingbackami?
Tak naprawdę nie ma dużej różnicy między pingbackami i trackbackami. Oba robią to samo, ale przyjmują nieco inne podejście.
Pierwsza różnica polega na tym, że trackbacki są ręczne, podczas gdy pingbacki są automatyczne, ponieważ używają różnych technologii komunikacyjnych.
Po drugie, pingbacki nie wysyłają zajawki wpisu, podczas gdy trackbacki tak.
Jak wysyłać Trackbacki i Pingbacki w WordPressie?
Od wersji WordPress 5.0 możliwość ręcznego wysyłania trackbacków do innych blogów została usuwana z ekranu edytora bloków. Niewielu użytkowników korzysta z tej funkcji, a WordPress domyślnie włącza już automatyczne pingbacki.
Jeśli jednak korzystasz z klasycznego edytora, funkcja ta jest nadal dostępna. Po prostu edytuj wpis w klasycznym edytorze, a znajdziesz opcję wysyłania trackbacków poniżej obszaru edycji.
Jeśli nie możesz znaleźć pola meta trackbacków w klasycznym edytorze, kliknij przycisk „Opcje ekranu” w prawym górnym rogu ekranu.
Musisz zaznaczyć pole obok opcji „Wyślij trackbacki”, a WordPress zacznie wyświetlać pole wysyłania trackbacków poniżej obszaru edycji.
Jak moderować pingbacki i trackbacki w WordPressie?
Z naszego doświadczenia wynika, że 99% wszystkich trackbacków i pingbacków to spam. Jest to najłatwiejszy sposób dla spamerów na uzyskanie linków zwrotnych z twojej witryny.
W naszym przypadku często widzimy pingbacki od złodziei treści, którzy kopiują całe nasze artykuły słowo po słowie, łącznie ze wszystkimi odnośnikami.
Dzięki tym odnośnikom ich oprogramowanie blogowe automatycznie wysyła pingbacki do naszych artykułów.
Nieliczne przypadki, w których trackbacki/pingbacki okazały się pomocne, dotyczyły odnośników do nas od legalnych blogerów. Dzięki nim dowiedzieliśmy się o naszej funkcji w Mashable i NYTimes.
Krótko mówiąc, stwierdziliśmy, że 99% wszystkich trackbacków/pingbacków to spam. Jest to powód, dla którego całkowicie je wyłączyliśmy. Nie warto poświęcać czasu na moderację tony spamu.
Istnieją inne sposoby, aby dowiedzieć się, kto umieszcza odnośniki do twoich artykułów. Najprostszym z nich jest skorzystanie z Google Analytics, aby dowiedzieć się, kto umieszcza odnośniki do Twojej witryny.
Niemniej jednak, jeśli nadal chcesz używać trackbacków i pingbacków, dobrze jest moderować je pod kątem spamu. W tym celu należy przejść do Ustawienia „ Dyskusja w obszarze administracyjnym WordPress.
Następnie w sekcji „Zanim pojawi się komentarz” zaznacz pole „Komentarz musi zostać zatwierdzony ręcznie”. Dzięki temu trackbacki i pingbacki nie będą pojawiać się automatycznie i będą musiały zostać sprawdzone pod kątem spamu.
Następnie możesz przejść do obszaru moderacji komentarzy WordPress, aby sprawdzić, czy nie ma oczekujących pingbacków i trackbacków.
Z tego miejsca można je zatwierdzić, usunąć lub oznaczyć jako spam.
Jak wyłączyć Trackbacki, Pingbacki i Self Pingi?
Jeśli jesteś zmęczony otrzymywaniem spamerskich trackbacków i pingbacków, istnieje sposób na ich całkowite wyłączenie.
Wystarczy przejść do strony Ustawienia ” Dyskusja i odznaczyć opcję „Zezwalaj na powiadomienia o odnośnikach z innych blogów (pingbacks i trackbacks)”.
Odznaczenie tego pola spowoduje wyłączenie trackbacków i pingbacków tylko dla przyszłych wpisów (nie istniejących).
Aby wyłączyć trackbacki w istniejących wpisach, należy postępować zgodnie z naszym poradnikiem dotyczącym wyłączania trackbacków i pingbacków w istniejących wpisach WordPress.
Jeśli masz dość samoczynnego pingowania twojego bloga, możesz po prostu zainstalować i włączyć wtyczkę No Self Pings. Aby uzyskać więcej informacji, zobacz nasz przewodnik krok po kroku, jak zainstalować wtyczkę WordPress.
Po włączaniu wtyczka wyłączy autopingi na twojej witrynie WordPress.

I’m curious is it weird to approve self-pings? Internal linking is still a good thing but would there be any cons//would it just look weird? Thanks!
WPBeginner Support
It’s a bit of a personal preference question. It adds more admin tasks for you to do with the links to approve and you already have an internal link to cause the pingback so most do not find value in allowing self pings.

What about the real blogger who don’t spam. Don’t you accept their trackback/pingback then , even though they are legit ?

Are there any advantages to approving a trackback. I just got one and I don’t know if I should or shouldn’t approve it. If someone clicks it, I risk losing a visitor, don’t I?

Thank you for explaining TrackBacks.
I got two but the commenters name etc looked false and immediately raized the alarm.
So, if they do copy your article word for word, no one should panick, because Google will not give that copied post good ranking and they will hurt their website rankings! Or, am I missing something more important here?
I will disable trackbacks.
Thanks.
WPBeginner Support
Hi Philip,
Yes, you got that right. However, if you notice that someone with stolen content is outranking your articles in Google, then you can file DMCA and Google will remove those results. For more information, please see our guide on how to prevent blog content scraping in WordPress.

Thank you so much for Tweeting this article! I just last week received 6 Pingbacks and had no idea what to do about them.
I had just moved from Blogger to Wordpress.org earlier this year and I have been learning the platform and had never heard of Trackbacks and Pingbacks until last week.
I watched Your talk with Micheal Hyatt and learned so much too. I’m so glad I subscribed to Platform University and heard about your site it has been so helpful. I’m implementing a lot of the things you talked about with Micheal Hyatt.

Thanks for the explanation. I would instantly stop all trackbacks and pingbacks if I were more experienced. I’ve been blogging for 7 years but only just moved from Blogger to WP. THANK GOODNESS FOR YOUR WEBSITE. Without it, I do not know what I would do!
I host two blog hops. I love meaningful comments from my guests at the parties as well as on other posts. Will disabling trackbacks or pingbacks interfere with my parties or real commentary? If it won’t, I’m disabling immediately. Another question… on existing spammy comments, is it better to mark them as spam or send them to the trash?
WPBeginner Support
Hi Sinea,
Thank you for kind words, we are glad that you find WPBeginner helpful. To answer your questions:
1. No, disabling pingbacks and trackbacks will not affect comments on your website.
2. It is better to mark spam comments as spam.
Administrator
Sinea
Well, then, I will be disabling them! Thanks so much!
Sin Yee
Thanks for the explanation. Finally know what both of them are!
Janine
Thank you for addressing this! Honestly its a confusing topic. I recently had my post pinged back upon. (How on earth would one say that!?!)
I noticed that when she pinged me her post (in wordpress) automatically used my featured image for the post I had written.
I have pinged a different blogs post (not a wordpress blog) today and I don’t see if there is a way to include the image.
Is it still pinging if it is not a wordpress blog? Could that be what is different?
Thanks!
Tapiwa Zvakavapano
Greetings
I see there is an unanswered question in all this; If I do not approve a Pingback, will the link still work. I am afraid I am not as fawning as all the other people above. I run a recently launched blog; Network Bees and I have lots of links to your pages. All of them are genuine, ie, I read your articles and link to relevant, well written materials.
It worries me therefore, that all that effort is for nought because you are labeling all my links as spam. I may be confused about the whole thing, however. I think one of the comments above asked the same issue. Does disabling pingbacks and trackbacks mean that people cant link to a page? Or do the links still work nevertheless?
One of the things that I have discovered is that established bloggers tend to be a bit „detached” when it comes to interacting with new bloggers. There is this blog that allows guest posts but does not allow even a single link to the author’s blog! I mean, what would be the point? In any case, that’s a digression. My question is above….
WPBeginner Support
Hi Tapiwa,
When you link to another WordPress powered website, the link on your website will work just fine. If the site you are linking to has the pingbacks and trackbacks disabled, then they will not see the link in their moderation queue and will not be able to mark it as spam. You should keep working on your blog as you normally would.

Michelle Belanger
Thanks for this article and your site!
I got a rather generic comment with a link to a site in the UK that had content unrelated to my blog post (a garden photo post linked to a job seeking website). i approved the comment initially because I want people to read and respond to my posts. After reading this article, I went in and removed the links and left the comment by itself.
Is this method ever used as a way to break into someone’s site to hack it? Or is it just a way to get someone from another site to click their link and go to their site? Thanks again for your help with this subject.
WPBeginner Support
Hey Michelle,
Most links submitted in a comments are often spam. Some times these links can lead users to malicious websites. You need to carefully review comments before approving them. See our guide on how to deal with comment spam in WordPress for more information.

Perfect, Thanks for sharing these useful information with us.

Very good article. Thanks for detailed explanation.
Liz Ziser
Great post! Thank you for sharing.
Personally, my confusion lies with moderation options. For example, if a legitimate blog links to my site, and I move it to „Trash”, is the link deactivated? i.e. It’s fine for them to link to me, but I don’t want the pingbacks displaying at the bottom of my post… so would this be the best selection?
I’d just like to better understand the consequence of each moderation selection: Approve, Unapprove, Trash, Spam, and Trash. What actually happens when each of these are selected.
Thanks a lot!!

I was going to use track backs on our site. We tried them for a while and we were just inundated with spamming comment (of which this comment is not lol). In the end I decided that is was not worth using track back at all.

Hi, If I disable pingbacks/trackbacks as you’ve suggested, will that also stop internal pinkbacks?

Heike Martin
Internal pingbacks can be avoided by making sure that the url used only shows the extension of the full url. Look at the url for this post. To avoid self-pings you want the link to only read „/beginners-guide/what-why-and-how-tos-of-trackbacks-and-pingbacks-in-wordpress/”. This info is from the make.wordpress site. To do this add the link and check in text editor mode and delete the domain portion of the url
Robert
Thanks for this article on trackbacks and pingbacks. I had been thinking of the advantages of allowing trackbacks from genuine bloggers but if your experience is that 99% comes from spam then I don’t think the 1% is worth it.
I think I will place a prominent notice advising bloggers to use the Contact Me form to request a link up.
James
Have been reading the release notes on 4.0.1, specifically the XSS vulnerability in comments which launches upon moderating comments.
I don’t suppose any one would know if the trace ping backs could be exploited in the same way.
John Shea
Helpful article, been getting spam trackback notifications from someone who ran what almost appears to be a negative seo campaign
Jude Quin
I’ve been struggling with trying to understand this for years. I read the explanations over and over but it’s like a „Whos’ on first?” dialog!
So, if my post includes a link to another article on the web, that site gets the „pingback” notice? then, if they approve it, it appears as a comment under the article that I linked to? and that comment consists of a link to my article?
the track back is REALLY CONFUSING, the explanation appears to suggest that If I comment on an article on another blog, the track back links that post, with my comment, to one of my posts as a comment with title and excerpt from the other post..? whew! ..if this is correct, how is the track back sent? and how does it know which article I want my comment to link to?
Allen Underwood
It’s a little ironic – you must have gotten tired of the WordPress SPAM as well now that you’ve got Disqus!
I had installed Disqus on our site CodingBlocks.NET but we were still getting a TON of SPAM which I mistakenly thought was comment SPAM. Turns out it was trackbacks – I was grepping the log files on the server and saw a large number of these trackbacks which led me to your site (in search of an answer). It’s unfortunate that I have to disable this feature because of all the dishonest people out there – one of the fake trackback’s I received was from a DENTIST!! I mean seriously…anyways, thanks for the explanation of trackbacks, pingbacks and how to disable if necessary (which I believe is probably incredibly necessary nowadays).

how can we get pingback reference link for non wordpress sites and for facebook page etc
WPBeginner Staff
you need to ask the site owner to remove it.
WPBeginner Staff
you will need to ask them to remove it.

Is there a way to remove a trackback on another person’s site or do they have to do it? There is a link to my site on another site and I want it deleted.
Apologies if this posted twice. I refreshed and think it disappeared.
Allison
Is there a way to remove a trackback on a site you do not maintain? There is a link to my site on a third party site that I do not want there. Is there a way for me to make it go away or do I need to ask the site it’s on to remove it?
PixieHouse
I wonder – If I deactivate track/pingbacks at my site, yes even use a plugin to prevent such, do I still ping other blogs and eventually get a backlink every now and then?
Or does the deactivation goes both ways?
Allen Underwood
On that same settings page (Settings -> Discussion) where you can deactivate the trackbacks and pingbacks, there’s another option just above that (in WP 3.9.1) called „Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from this article”. If you leave that checked then your blog will still attempt to send out pingbacks.
Clive Maloney
That was really helpful. Thanks. I’ve had a lot of spammy trackbacks and pingbacks but a recent legitimate trackback got me wondering.
Joy
If i allow a pingback that is legitimate just to see how it will look on a site, can i change y mind and delete it later?
WPBeginner Support
Yes you can.

JIRCAS posted a good question but it was never answered. I’m finding that a number of bloggers will post huge lists of links to „other great posts on _____.” The blank, in my case, is to posts made in response to a weekly photo challenge. I will receive a pingback and while their post will be relevant to the challenge, I really see no value in allowing the pingback. Am I correct in this assumption? While I have a number of these being held for moderation, on the various posts in question, the link to my post still appears. If I don’t approve it, does this just mean that the link won’t work or that the link will work, but the pingback won’t appear as a comment on my post? So it turns into a one-way referrer to my post but I’m not reciprocating?
WPBeginner Support
SPFischer, Does the post linking to your post is really relevant to your blog? You see there are lots of people who run auto-blogging software and RSS aggregators. You don’t need to accept those trackbacks at all. However, blogging is very much like a discussion. You write something thought provoking on your blog and some other blogger builds their original content on your thoughts thats how the discussion moves forward in the blogsphere. So if you want, you can approve those trackbacks. However, we have noticed that the number of genuine trackbacks and pingbacks almost completely disappeared recently.

Thank you for this. I’m a new blogger and was confused on what they really do. Thanks for the clarification. I kind of had an idea but didn’t know the difference between pingbacks and trackbacks.
May I ask, whether it is good to allow them or to block them?
WPBeginner Support
If you are getting too many spam in trackbacks and pingbacks then block them. If you are getting some legitimate trackbacks from blogs and other sites in your niche then you should keep it.

I have a question if someone can answer for me please…
I unchecked Allow Link notifications from other blogs, and I also disabled trackbacks and pingbacks on existing wordpress posts…
…but do I still need to use the plugin called „No Self Pings” if I want to stop self-pinging myself? Or will the 2 actions I performed above ensure that I won;t be self-pinged?
In Many Thanks,

Great article. I unchecked the allow link notification but still seem to be receiving a lot of spammy trackbacks. Are there any plugins you can recommend? We run a lacrosse pinnies site:

Do you have Akismet enabled? You can approve legit trackbacks and pingbacks like you would moderate comments.
