Webmention without comments?

Hey @bixfrankonis sorry for the late reply!

Webmentions do work even if comments are disabled. To disable Webmentions, you have to disable pings (pingback/trackback) for posts. Does that answer your question?

Yes, it does. Here’s another because I’m really very low cognitive resources right now:

What specifically do I need to enable, and/or not disable, in order to send and receive all of trackbacks, pingbacks, and webmention?

Alternatively, I noticed that webmention.io has a way to forward pingbacks to webmention in order to avoid XMLRPC. Is there a way to do that with this plugin? Or does this do that automatically and it meant to basically be a drop-in replacement for trackbacks/pingbacks, period?

Assume for all of this that despite being cognitive low resources, I’m on self-hosted WP on my own VPS and can do whatever is necessary as long as it’s spelled out for me.

Thanks.

I didn’t describe that very well at all.

I want webmention. I do not want to have to also allow trackbacks or pingbacks, because I do not want the gaping hole of XML-RPC open.

Is this not possible?
