Trackbacks in Wordpress?

[ali_420]

If I link to one of my previous posts in a new post, i get a trackback sent to the post I linked to. Even if both posts are in the same blog!
Anybody knows how to fix this? Very annoying

I am trying to find info on it, to no avail right now.

I did find this however, http://wordpress.org/support/topic/77497

The simple solution to avoid self-pinging: use relative path when linking to your own posts.
E.g. instead of <a href="example.com/?p=123...<br />
just use
<a href="/?p=123...

Thanks Ali, and you are welcome.

I actually don't think of this as a big problem, I actually like it, it kind of works together with the related posts plugin!
