When I first used WP, I had no complaints except for the fact it cannot ping sites automatically. I had a tough time finding the solution and ended up using a more manual way of doing it, bysaving my ping list as a private entry and each time I post, I just copy the list and paste it manually in the trackback column.
Well, now WP has released the latest upgrade 1.5.1.1 supposedly to solve these buggy ping and trackback problems found in 1.5. So thanks to Steve, my faithly host for upgrading for me in a jiffy, and now i’m just testing whether the ping prob is really gone. Will update after I publish this!
Update
Guess what…still didn’t work.
Hi. I came across your site via BlogExplosion and was just skimming your posts when I noticed this one. I use wordpress too and I think my blog automatically pings sites I’ve added under ‘options > writing’ then ‘update services’. I’m not certain if this works, but it appears to. Or at least something does. Hope that helps somewhat. 🙂
Hi Ruth thanks for the tip but I already did that. I just upgraded to 1.5.1.2 now, will try that again. Thanks for coming by!
