Newbie to Trackbacks ???

Well I figured it out, but I was just afraid others wouldn’t. If that’s standard, then I won’t worry about it.

I also have the Connections theme and am unsure what code to add to the comments.php to add trackback url links next to each “No Comment” field.

I’m not totally sure about finding the location via reference to the line
of code (line 30 etc). So could you write out the preceding code I should
look in the a€?comments.phpa€? file word for word and the code I need to
include if possible.

One more question what file do I need to add my own custom url links located above the header?

Thanks in advance

Okay — I’m flat lost.

I linked to a post made by someone else on their blog, using their trackback URL provided in my post. When I click on the link, I get an error message.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
- <response>
<error>1</error>
<message>Need a Source URL (url).</message>
</response>

What am I doing wrong?

In regards to the Connection theme enquiry for separating trackbacks from the comments, my blog is located at https://miriadz.com/blog

Thanks again

Great!
Problem solved.

I wanted the trackback URI to print at the top of each of my posts. Here’s what I did.

In your index.php file toward the top you’ll see code that looks something like this:

<div class=”meta”> by <span class=”storyAuthor”><?php the_author() ?> </span> @ <?php the_time() ?>.<?php edit_post_link(); ?>
Filed under <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?>

This is the code that prints your name and so forth at the top. I merely added the following:

<br>Trackback URL: <i><?php trackback_url()?></i>

right after it.

I had to figure this out, but the code is pretty clean and straightforward (and the code I pasted in may be slightly different for you–some depends on the theme you’re using). The php function trackback_url() prints the trackback URL. All you have to do is call the function within the loop.
