# pingbacks / trackbacks not working?

 * My website [http://www.derekbeck.com/1775](http://www.derekbeck.com/1775) is 
   no longer showing pingbacks within the site itself (let alone others I imagine).
   That is, I write a post, and link to an old post, and now the old post gets no
   pingback. I have confirmed it is not a plugin issue, as I’ve disabled all of 
   my plugins and added a new link back to another post and still got nothing.
 * Is anyone else having this issue? Perhaps due to the latest WP update? (Is there
   a way to downgrade a version of WP to test?)

 * Turned out it was some glitch in my theme. I updated it, and now it works.

 * I don’t know, it wasn’t “my” theme, but the theme I was using. I use the atahualpa
   theme.
