Description

Add Pingbacks is a WordPress plugin that allows you to manually create pingbacks for your posts, pages, and custom post types. This is particularly useful when you want to:

  • Add missing pingbacks that weren’t automatically detected
  • Manually create references between content
  • Manage content relationships through pingbacks
  • Add pingbacks for legacy content

How It Works

  1. Go to Comments > Add Pingbacks
  2. Select from any custom post type the specific post you want to add the pingback to
  3. Enter the referrer’s site title, URL and excerpt or content of the pingback
  4. Click “Add Pingback” to create the pingback
