What is Pingbacks and Trackbacks in WordPress?

[bitheerani319]

No, it’s not a new Netflix series, they are two concepts that, if I explain them well, will make you start to understand the differences between these two very similar expressions in WordPress (pingback and trackback).
Ping is when you actively do something towards someone, related to electronic communication.
Especially if you work with international people or people who are too “cool” to use a Spanish word, when they say “Ping me” it will mean “give me a call”.
Here you already have a clear idea of ​​the concept of pingback in WordPress: when you notify another website of something you have done on your website.
However, track is something that is done, also actively, about usa phone number list and this time, it directly affects us first.
For example, if you have fallen off your bike and you feel your body to see if you have broken something, you are tracking possible injuries.
So, you already have a clear idea of ​​the concept of trackback in WordPress: when you are notified that someone has done something that directly affects your website.

How does a pingback and trackback work?
Let’s see an example: Pepito writes an article about nutrition on his WordPress blog, inspired by an article he read some time ago on Juanita ’s blog , which he mentions through a link to said article. Pepito
’s blog automatically sends a notification (pingback) to Juanita ’s blog to tell her that she has been mentioned in the article about nutrition. Juanita , if she has everything ideally configured (we will see this later), will receive a notification on her WordPress blog, where she will see that she has a pending “comment moderation”, in the form of a trackback, and she has to decide what to do with it (we will also see this later).
