If you make a post on your own WordPress site (with pingbacks enabled), then someone creates a new post on their own WordPress site, then a pingback will occur.  You can follow the sequence in the graphic below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/anatomy-ping-back.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"752\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/anatomy-ping-back.jpg\" class=\"optimized-lcp-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" fetchpriority=\"high\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/anatomy-ping-back.jpg 752w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/anatomy-ping-back-300x209.jpg 300w\"><\/a><figcaption>Anatomy of a pingback<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enabling Pingbacks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/logging-into-wordpress-dashboard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Log in to the WordPress Administrator<\/a><\/li><li>Create a new page\/post or edit an existing one.<\/li><li>In the new post, go to the document properties column on the right side of the screen.

The option for pasting URLs in the Send Trackback window dos not appear in the current editor for WordPress. The <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/classic-editor\/\">Classic Editor<\/a> is a plugin that can be loaded from WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trackbacks allow you to notify blogs that you linked to them.  Trackbacks are like a citation or works cited list in a formal research paper, but WordPress actively notifies the website where the information\/comment came from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can enable trackbacks in your post or page once the option is enabled. As per the note, above, remember that trackbacks currently only work in the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/classic-editor\/\" target=\"_blank\">classic WordPress editor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a screenshot of where you would add the trackbacks in the classic editor interface:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"946\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-1-1024x946.jpg\" alt=\"Send trackbacks section in the Classic editor\" class=\"wp-image-55350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-1-1024x946.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-1-300x277.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-1-768x709.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-1.jpg 1032w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Send trackbacks section in the Classic editor<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When a WordPress site receives a trackback notification, it appears in the comments section of the site.  Here\u2019s another screenshot showing the trackback in comments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-2-1024x426.jpg\" alt=\"Example of Trackback comment\" class=\"wp-image-55351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-2-1024x426.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-2-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-2-768x320.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-2.jpg 1031w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Example of Trackback comment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When a trackback works it sends an excerpt and notification to the originating site.  In the example above, the excerpt of the site is defined at the original site.  Then when the trackback occurs, you can see it in the comment above.  You can see where the excerpt is added in the screenshot below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-3-1024x613.jpg\" alt=\"Excerpt entry area in the Classic Editor\" class=\"wp-image-55352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-3-1024x613.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-3-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-3-768x460.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/trackback-entry-3.jpg 1323w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Excerpt entry area in the Classic Editor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pingbacks and trackbacks are useful in providing feedback when linking to other blogs. Trackbacks are created manually and send back an excerpt of the content. The excerpt is typically defined at the original post entry  In contrast, the pingback is automated and does not send content. We recommend that you closely monitor pingbacks and trackbacks in the event of comment spam issues.  If you are seeing a problem, then disable the options to alleviate the issue.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations!  You now know how to use trackbacks or pingbacks!
