“Manually ping”? I thought pingback is always done by the publishing software automatically parsing the linked blogs for a XML-RPC entry. How do you “manually ping” in WP? Or do you mean “manually perform a trackback” by that?

Same problem here. I downloaded WP 1.5 less than a week ago (after 2005-04-15) and my situation is:

– outgoing pingback (auto) does NOT work (tested with different WP and MT blogs)
– outgoing trackback (manual) does work
– incoming pingback and trackback both work

Since pingback is supposed to work fully automated, I can’t tell if my WP even *tried* to do the pingbacks, or, if it didn’t due to some config errors.

Hmm, I’m not sure of my assumption above any more. I turned off pingbacks by default, and it still takes more than 10 seconds to save a post. Maybe it’s the Markdown filter that needs so much time.

Is there a way to log/debug the outgoing pingbacks? I know my WP (1.5) is tries to send them since it takes really long to save/publish the post, but I don’t see my post appearing as comment on any blog I link to, even though they’re all WP or MT based. I wonder how I can make sure if the pingbacks failed to be sent or if the other blogs just chose not to show my post in their comment section.

Yeah I’m not seeing this so called checkbox either, I see it being mentioned in Help/Wiki, but not on my “Write Post” page (I’ve got “show advanced editing” on by default).
