How to remove pingback from the head section?

Hi,

You can simply comment out (or remove) the following from the header.php file

Commenting it out keeps it in the file (in case you ever want to enable it) but stops it functioning

<link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo( ‘pingback_url’ ); ?>” />

To comment something out in html just add this code before it

<!–

and this code after it

–>

so it becomes

<!– <link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo( ‘pingback_url’ ); ?>” /> –>

As always, I would highly recommend doing a backup of any files before modifying them, as well as keeping regular backups of both your site and DB. ??
