Can't display trackbacks…

[Michelle Waters]

I would like trackbacks to display on my posts with the comments on my Lifestyle Pro Theme.

I have checked my Genesis>Theme Settings and I have trackbacks enabled on posts.

I checked Setting>Discussion and I have notifications from other blogs enabled.

I've scanned the functions.php and style.css files in both my Genesis and Lifestyle theme files, but I'm not seeing anything that's causing the trackbacks to not display.

I know I have a trackback on the following post:

http://www.mrswatersenglish.com/2015/11/book-review-a-teachers-tale-by-john-thompson/#comments

I have received the email notification telling me I have a trackback. I've checked the post setting themselves and pingbacks/trackbacks are allowed in the discussion section.

I have NOT installed any plugins to remove trackbacks.

I am at a loss.

Any ideas on how I can get trackbacks to appear?

Are you using the default Akismet plugin that is delivered with WordPress? The plugin connects your website to Akismet's anti-spam service. This is a massive spam filter monitoring millions of sites to catch spam comments and trackbacks. Also, if you are monitoring trackbacks, they need to be moderated to be displayed just as any other comment.

Trackback and pingback spam in WordPress is a huge issue. This type of spam is generated by spammers who use automated scripts to send millions of trackbacks to websites all over the world. The spammers try to leave their links on a website where trackbacks are not monitored. Most of these spam links point to illegal activities like selling drugs, running scams, distributing malicious code, etc.

Trackbacks can have a negative impact on your SEO as well. Please take a look at this article to learn more: http://www.seoblog.com/2014/02/approving-wordpress-trackbacks-devastating-seo/

I discovered that it helps to not delete a trackback if you want it to appear on your site. 🙂

I only allow trackbacks from reputable sites.

Thank you!
