More plugins needed

June 17, 2005 – 10:30 am

If I ever find the time…

  1. Need one to get rid of those lame » (>>) characters that WordPress puts in Trackbacks, since they make the XML in the comment feeds not parse correctly
  2. A new spam plugin. I turned my old one off because it was blocking trackbacks and pingbacks, but I haven’t had time to fix it yet, and I’ve been getting an average of 200 spam comments a day. They all get moderated, so they don’t show up on the site, but it’s still getting kind of annoying.

I wonder

If the new version of Wordpress fixes that thing where it puts those annoying >> things in the trackbacks/pingbacks, which break the XML feeds. If not, time to add another plugin to the list.

Trackbacks and pingbacks

May 4, 2005 – 10:26 am

are now working again to my blog. Previously they were being prevented by one or more of my comment spam prevention plugins, including my own. I will have to fix these when I get a chance, but until then I will leave them off so I don’t miss out on all the trackbacks and pingbacks I’m sure I would otherwise be getting. Of course, it would help if WordPress treated trackbacks & pingbacks completely separately from comments, but oh well.

UPDATE - Now I just realized that I will have to update my Recent Comments plugins as well, to include an option for whether tb/pb’s should be included. I had to abbreviate there, because I’ve typed “trackback” and “pingback” far too many times already, in this post alone.
