Manual Trackback doesn't work

Post by chessnut »

Error when creating a trackback:
http://www.heike-scholz.de/2007/07/04/m ... trackback/
"Trackback failed: The auto-discovered trackback URI does not match our target URI."
(there is some rdf, but is there something wrong with the rdf used?)

So i did like it was said here:
http://www.s9y.org/48.html#A4
I tried to use the manual plugin:
1. I made sure the link-entry was deleted from the references-table in the DB
2. I entered the URL in the textfield "Additional links to trackback"
(i tried it with the checkbox "Send Trackbacks to links found in the entry" disabled AND enabled)
3. I still get the same error-message.

Anyone got a clue, why it's not working? the trackback-plugin should send a trackback, and not care about wheter the rdf is correct, right?

Hi!

Please try this:

1. Delete the references-DB table for that entry.
2. Inside your entry, do not link to http://www.heike-scholz.de/2007/07/04/m ... -reporter/ (WITHOUT the /trackback/ at the end)
3. In the manual trackback box, you enter the link http://www.heike-scholz.de/2007/07/04/m ... trackback/ (WITH the /trackback/ at the end)

Then you save the entry, and it should work. If it still doesn't, try to first save the entry as draft, and then save it as 'publish' again.

HTH,
Garvin
