Auto Ping PPS from Wordpress 1.5
Filed in: Tips n Tricks, WordPress — April 22nd, 2005
Since the site is upgraded to Wordpress 1.5 and the core code changed, here is the updated guide to auto ping Project Petaling Street (PPS).
For previous Wordpress version, please refer to Guide to ping PPS from Wordpress. It works on WP 1.0 / 1.2.
We need to edit two files in WP_ROOT/wp-admin:
- edit-form.php – Simple controls post editor
- edit-form-advanced.php – Advance control post editor
Important: Backup the files before continue.
Simple controls post editor (edit-form.php)
- Open edit-form.php for edit.
- Goto line #56, where it read:
[html]
[/html] - Replace the line with:
[html]
[/html] - Save and upload edit-form.php. Done.
Advance controls post editor (edit-form-advanced.php)
- Open edit-form-advanced.php for edit.
- Goto line #27, where it reads:
[php]$form_trackback = ‘
‘;[/php] - Add following code ABOVE the line:
[php]if($to_ping == ”) $to_ping = ‘PPS PING PATH’;[/php]
So that it looks as follow:
[php]if($to_ping == ”) $to_ping = ‘PPS PING PATH’;
$form_trackback = ‘
‘;[/php] - Save and upload edit-form-advanced.php. Done.
Note: Replace PPS PING PATH with provided ping URL when you register to PPS.
Thought:
Hope this helps Malaysia bloggers who are using Wordpress 1.5 (or later?) to easily ping PPS, and increase blog traffic. Of course, you can remove the PPS ping URL when you do not want to ping PPS for certain post.
