Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Refback

Webmentions are preferable, however, webmentions must be supported by the sender

On the Settings --> Discussion Page in WordPress: Activate receiving refbacks by checking the "Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks) on new articles" option.

When declaring your custom post type, add post type support for refbacks by either including it in your register_post_type entry or adding it later using add_post_type_support.This will also add support for receiving pingbacks and trackbacks as WordPress cannot currently distinguish between different linkback types. Refbacks will also respect the webmention plugin settings for which post types to support. If you enable webmentions for that type, it will also enable refbacks.

No. This will work independently. However, if you have that plugin, it will parse refbacks for Microformats.

No. This will work independently. However, it will use the options in the webmentions plugin, if enabled, specifically to accept refbacks to different post types and route homepage and other archive page mentions to pages if configured.
