Site-wide disabling of trackbacks and pingbacks (5 posts)

    I am developing an "internal" (on the internet but behind a password) company blog, and I want to disable all outside trackback sending and pingbacks for all blogs in one place. Is this possible?

    The settings are within the wp-admin/upgrade-schema.php file. Look for the setting for update services I believe it's called and just delete the option. Should be for rpc.pingomatic.com I believe.

    Thanks. Where can I find default_pingback_flag and default_ping_status?

    Ok, found them in wp-admin/options-discussion.php. Do I want to set "default_pingback_flag" value="0" and "default_ping_status" value="closed" ?

    I just realized I would want trackbacks internally but not externally. I think this makes it more complicated.
