I was experiencing the same problem. For some reason the Piecemaker only appears if the dimensions are 960×380…

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

I checked your site. It’s hard to compare a powerblog site to WP. I’ve noticed some differences with a bunch of different blog software. For example, on some hosts you actually get XML markup if you click the trackback link. If you actually take the address

yoursite/trackback it will load the permalink site.

Are you suggesting that to leave a trackback a user just clicks on the trackback link? I don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to work. The trackback URL on your site is just there for someone to copy and paste it into their posts TRACKBACK option. You can’t just click on a site to leave a trackback, you have to post on your own site.

So for example if i want to leave trackback for your post, I would take your address, load up my site. Type a post and then paste the trackback URL into the field on page that says TRACKBACK URI. Upon doing so, my site will go to your URL and provide info according to the standard trackback method that can be interpreted on your site as a trackback. Unfortunately my problem is SENDING trackbacks from my site, so I can’t send you a sample, but perhaps you can check out that testing site above or have someone send you a sample trackback…

Not sure if I’m confused about what you’re saying, but when you click on a trackback link in a regular browser I believe it redirects to the permalink address because (i assume) of the absence of variables that are recognized as proper trackback info.

For example, when the post hits the trackback site it passes info about your site to the site that you are tracking back to.

If you are having problems sending or receiving a trackback that’s certainly possible but I don’t think the fact that your browser doesn’t “go to” the /trackback page is part of it.

Again I am pretty much speculating, but maybe this will help you in trying to figure out what’s wrong.

Is the general problem sending and/or receiving trackbacks?? With respect to sending, why is it that most people can send and I can’t? I am willing to believe it is something I screwed up 🙂 I don’t see how it could be a bug if most people have it working right off the bat. I was able to address the incoming problem because it was something I overlooked while setting up my plugins… Lorelle, are you able to receive or send trackbacks or are they completely not working??

Still can’t get TB/PB working at all, incoming or outgoing. Installed WP on 3/5/05, Confirmed that my functions.php is identical to the one Ryan posted. Anyone still having these problems???
