Hate Pingbacks and Trackbacks? Me too. Pingback Killer disables of of WordPress’ built in pingback functionality.
This is a very simple plugin that… 
1. Removes the <code>X-Pingback</code> header WordPress sends 
2. Causes any <code>bloginfo('ping_backurl')</code> call to return an empty string 
3. Hijacks the two options relating to pingbacks 
4. Removes the /trackback/ rewrite rules
There are no options pages, it just works.

This is a utility plugin that runs database operations on your WordPress database to change settings for and clean up unwanted trackbacks, pingbacks, and comments. Without this plugin you would have to change settings in WordPress and go through all your existing pages and posts and update those as well or have to manually execute SQL commands on your database. Simple Trackback Disabler does this for you…Automagically! It centralizes these functions so you can do what needs to be done all in one place. After you’ve done what you need to do you can simply uninstall the plugin or keep it around so you can do periodic checkups to make sure nothing has changed.
<ul>
<li>It tells you if comments, trackbacks/pingbacks, and the notify other blog settings are enabled in the WordPress settings and allows you to disable them from the plugin page with the press of a button.</li>
<li>It allows you to see how may pages/posts have pingbacks or comments enabled and allows you to disable each type in bulk.</li>
<li>It allows you to delete comments, trackbacks, and pingbacks from the plugin page….even the malformed ones.</li>
<li>You don’t have to manually edit your existing pages and posts individually.</li>
<li>You don’t need to run any SQL statements on your database.</li>
<li>Supports WordPress installations with non-standard database prefixes.</li>
<li>This plugin HAS NOT been tested on WordPress MultiSite. While in theory it should install and work fine when used on individual sites in the Network, there is currently no functionality to support the plugin functions across all the sites in the network at one time.</li>
