Re-Test Number Two of how WordPress 2.0.1 handles it’s auto-ping feature

In the Options|Discussion tab, we’re presented with a checkbox that says, “Attempt to notify any Weblogs linked to from the article (slows down posting.)”

What that means is that for any article linked to in a particular post, wordpress should automatically be sending a ping to alert that article that you’ve written about them, saving you the time of having to manually paste their trackback URI into the Trackbacks section of the Write Post screen.

WordPress 2.0 had problems with this, as was referenced in my prior post:

I guess the auto-trackback part, at least on my installation, is only working from WP 2.0 to WP 2.0

I had hoped that these problems would be resolved in WordPress 2.0.1, but instead they seem to have worsened, with even more erratic results than before:

  • again, no trackback pings to WordPress 1.5.x blogs or TypePad blogs got sent
  • again, the only time WP properly sent a single ping to a referenced post was when it was pinging from v2.0.1 to v2.0.1
  • duplicate pings were sent to WordPress 2.0 blogs and WordPress.com blogs that were referenced in a wordpress 2.0.1 post

What a bummer.
