Solving WordPress 1.5.1.2 Trackback and Pingback Sending Problems
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkSunday, June 12, 2005
I was unable to send trackbacks and pingbacks after I tested with WordPress 1.5.1.2. I found the solution yesterday.
I had too many XMLRPC Ping servers on my list and the php process was timing out while still pinging to them and before it could execute the trackback/pingbacks associated with the post.
The obvious solution is to reduce the list of servers you ping. I adopted a different approach. I increased the timeout to 5 minutes instead.
BTW: Check your pingback/trackback sending ability at Pingomation.
Let me know if it addresses your problem.

I’ve never thought of myself as a power user, but it never seemed smart to limit oneself to a single ping service, even if that service claimed to re-ping other services. I’ve certainly experienced timeout issues when publishing a post. My user experience of a hang during the publish operation suggests there is a problem there to be solved, but what the precise problem is, is a mystery to me. A plug-in that increases any short timeout that exists seems like it might be quite useful. |

I made a simple plugin to do it. I thought about publishing it, but didn’t think there would be much demand as it will be useful only to Power Users with large weblog Ping list. What do you think? |
