in Tutorials

When your writ­ing an arti­cle on your blog, and link­ing within your site (which you should!) you may start get­ting ping­backs from your own blog. Obvi­ously this is trash, and needs to either be mod­er­ated or deleted. One of my clients who is in my blog build­ing course was get­ting tired of his blog ping­ing back him­self, and I fig­ured oth­ers out there are hav­ing the same prob­lem. So here it is, your sim­ple 1 click solu­tion. Enjoy!

The Plu­gin

All you need to do is visit this web­site –>

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/no-self-ping/

Down­load the plu­gin, unzip it, upload the php file to your plu­g­ins direc­tory, go to set­tings -> plu­g­ins -> and acti­vate the plu­gin and you’re done!

I hope this has helped you, and I’ll talk to you soon.
