• Hello,
    I’m not completely understanding how this pinging works, I understand that you have to ping the search engines to get indexed. But why if I have a picture in my blog entry does it say:
    Key: enclosure
    Value: the http of the picture.jpg
    Action: Update or Delete

    I’m not fully understanding what this is for
    Nor do I understand why it says Already Pinged: https://www.blahblahblah/wordpress/wp-content/2005/pinholedotnl.jpg
    This is the URL of the .jpg in my post. Why is wordpress pingin myself???

    btw happy new year to everyone on the support forum

    You don’t have to ping search engines to get indexed. Search engine send out bots which crawl every single page on the internet every day. You ping Update Services to show that your blog was updated. People use these services to receive emails when their favorite blogs are updated.

    Your blog is pinging itself because you have “PingBack the URIs in this post ?” checked. Your JPEG is a URI in your post. You can uncheck this below your post as you’re typing it.

    thanx Macmancx,

    I’ll be shutting the pingin service off as I now have 12 robots crawling through my site every day.
    But what about the Key; Enclosure; Action thing?

    I cannot figure out where that’s for.

    That shouldn’t happen. When you upload the image (via the “Upload” button in the main menu bar, you are presented with the HTML code to display the image. All you have to do is copy that code directly into the post. It should look something like this:
    <img src="https://www.domain.com/wordpress/images/image1.jpg" alt="Image 1" />

    I ‘m not quite sure if you understand what I mean, because uploading pics goes just fine Can I paste an image here in the forum?,

    EDIT>>>No doesn’t work here’s the URL and you see what I mean
    “problem solved url removed”

    I don’t fully understand that bit either .. but my blog works, and I’m sure someone who does know will explain it all one day ??

    But Podz, you know everything!
    hey what is this service you’re giving me
    ??

    Ah.. I know what’s important to know ??

    Maybe I should read up on this stuff then… do a bit of writing…

    Thanx for your reply, my blog is also working fine, I was not quite sure because I don’t know what it’s for, if I needed to change some settings there. If you find out what it does and if it matters I’m sure we’ll read it either here or on your own site…
    bye

    Enclosures:

    That seems to be a pretty good explanation.
    I think with these it’s a case of if you want to use it, you need to read a bit, and if you don’t you can completely ignore it.

    Keys:
    I do use them (I forgot). I use Custom Comment things (when I remember) from https://www.chrisjdavis.org/, and to use, I choose the ‘custom comment’ key, then put in the value. That probably makes no sense whatsoever ….

    This makes sense;

    Thanx!
