Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

When your blog posts receive pingbacks and trackbacks usually they are displayed together with user opinions.

But if you don’t like to see this additional data, or you think pingbacks and trackbacks are not valuable for your blog, here is a tool to remove them.

This plugin allows you to delete all pingbacks and trackbacks comments from your blog, leaving only user comments.

Furthermore turns to closed the ping status of existing posts still allowing new notifications, avoiding them future pingbacks or trackbacks.

And for new posts, to avoid more notifications, updates the default post ping status value to closed (this option is available in Discussion Settings section).

Full support for any kind of custom post types. There is a filter for developers if you want to exclude a particular post type.

This plugin provides a single one step form to do these changes, but previously it’s strongelly recommended you perform a database backup.

Once completed this process, you will not receive more pingbacks or trackbacks unless you do not change posts or blog notifications configuration.
