Tutti sanno che i collegamenti interni sono utili per la SEO. È anche utile per l’esperienza dell’utente, perché lo aiuta a capire di cosa si parla in un articolo specifico. Da quando WordPress 3.1 ha introdotto i link interni, come molti altri, ci siamo trovati a collegare i nostri articoli precedenti molto più di prima. Non si direbbe che questo possa diventare un problema, finché non si notano molti auto-ping al proprio sito. Ad alcuni piace molto questa caratteristica predefinita di WordPress, perché permette agli utenti di tenere traccia degli articoli correlati nei commenti. Per altri, come noi, questo diventa un problema perché crediamo che ingombri l’area dei commenti.
Si potrebbe pensare che ci sia un correttivo difficile da trovare, ma è molto semplice. Tutto ciò che dovete fare è scaricare e installare il plugin No Self Pings.
A differenza di altri plugin, questo NON ha un pannello di impostazioni molto complesso. In effetti, non ha alcun pannello di impostazioni. È stato creato per fare una cosa e una sola. Impedire a WordPress di inviare ping al vostro sito. I plugin di questo tipo sono l’ideale perché lavorano silenziosamente in sfondo senza avere alcun impatto sul tempo di caricamento del sito o sulle attività quotidiane.
Siete stanchi degli auto-ping? Allora disattivateli subito con il plugin No Self Pings.

The reason the plugin “No Self Pings” has not been upgraded in in the past 6 years, and is only compatible up to WordPress version 3.0.5 is because no self pings was added to WordPress core with File 5224.patch, 1.0 KB (added by Viper007Bond, 9 years ago)
Remove self-pings via a filter (literal copy/paste of the plugin).

Sorry I just read another post where someone had asked the same question. So am I understanding this right? I install the plugin and then I don’t need to untick the link notification in settings so that we will send pings to other sites?
KonaGirl says
I wonder what the difference is between using this plugin and going to “settings” > “discussion” and unticking “Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)”?

I installed this one just now, about 4 years without updates, will see how it goes. Thanks again for a great post.

This is something I was looking for my site, as it gets really annoying when WordPress starts to ping back own published posts. Thankyou! But I hope that this outdated plugin may not have any security issues
Editorial Staff says
If it did, then we wouldn’t use it on our site

I’m late the party here, and I have a questions. No Self Pings shows compatibility only up to WP 3.0.5 and hasn’t been updated in over two years, a danger sign for me. Does it still work for you?
What about the suggestion above in the comments: “In WordPress Dashboard -> Settings -> Discussion Settings. Uncheck the first option – Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the article. Then it’ll not ping any blog. I think this is best solution. Am I right?”
What do you recommend to get rid of those pesky self-pings currently?
Thanks so much!
Love and light,
Sue

We still have the plugin active on our site. Often the authors forget to update the plugin (using the logic… if nothing is broken, then why update?). From our understanding unchecking the discussion setting, it should do it as long as you are ok with the fact that you would not send ping to other sites.

Hi,
Thank you for the useful tip! I installed the plugin but the linked posts still appear in the comment section. What can I do about that?
Thanks!
Editorial Staff says
It doesn’t get rid of existing trackbacks and pingbacks. It only stops future ones. To get rid of trackbacks and pingbacks on existing post, you would have to follow this tutorial:

No Self Pings is a useful plugin, I prefer to manage internal links manually.
