Pingback doesn't appear within the comments

[icke]

Hi,

I just received a pingback (yay! 😀 ) to one of my blog posts. Unfortunately it doesn’t appear below the post. For testing purposes I answered that pingback-comment which really looks weird now.

Pingbacks/Trackbacks are allowed/activated in general (settings -> discussion) as well as on this specific post. Is there any other setting which might prevent showing that pingback?

Thanks a ton in advance!

Hi

Please can you test this with TwentyFourteen enabled?

Hi Kyle,

thanks a lot for your fast answer – really appreciated!

By activating the theme “Twenty Fourteen” the pingback appears below the post. I don’t know if it helps but I also attached a picture with the source code to this post.

Thanks!

I’ll forward this to the developer to see what he thinks

Hi,

Try to put this code in the place you want on comments.php

<?php if ($trackback == true) { ?>  
  <h3>Trackbacks</h3>  
  <ol>  
  <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>  
  <?php $comment_type = get_comment_type(); ?>  
  <?php if($comment_type != 'comment') { ?>  
  <li><?php comment_author_link() ?></li>  
  <?php } ?>  
  <?php endforeach; ?>  
  </ol>  
<?php } ?> 

If you want before the comments means, put it before the div..

<div id="comments-list" class="comments">

Let us know,

Thanks,
laranz.

Hi laranz,

including the code snippet unfortunately doesn’t change anything. I’ve attached a picture where I included the code snippet.

I also tried several other places within the code but maybe you’ve a hint where to include the code snippet exactly?
As soon as I include the code snippet beside the ?> I receive an error message saying “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in …/comments.php on line 24”.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

After putting the code like the above screenshot, not even the “Trackbacks” heading shown? Try remove the if statement and try to put on the same place,

 <h3>Trackbacks</h3>  
  <ol>  
  <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>  
  <?php $comment_type = get_comment_type(); ?>  
  <?php if($comment_type != 'comment') { ?>  
  <li><?php comment_author_link() ?></li>  
  <?php } ?>  
  <?php endforeach; ?>  
  </ol>  

Make sure that posts have trackbacks, We also wait for Ed’s reply. 🙂

Let us know,

Thanks,
laranz.

Alright, this worked now. Since it didn’t fit to my design I removed the <h3> thingie and included the code now like that:

  <ol>  
  <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>  
  <?php $comment_type = get_comment_type(); ?>  
  <?php if($comment_type != 'comment') { ?>  
  <li><strong>Trackback:</strong> <?php comment_author_link() ?></li>  
  <?php } ?>  
  <?php endforeach; ?>  
  </ol>  

It looks like that.
I assume, updating the theme as from now I will have to include that code snippet every time?

Thanks again for your help!

We’ll look at adding this natively for the next update.
