At least on Archive 2.0 it doesn’t do it at all.

I have noticed that my blog didn’t liked track-backs in terms of share some love and actually show them on page and I had to search the entire Google to find why the following code is not working:

<?php

<?php if ( $comments_by_type['pings'] ) : ?>
<h2 id="pings">Trackbacks/Pingbacks</h2>
<ol class="commentlist">
    <?php wp_list_comments('type=pings'); ?>
    </ol>

    <?php endif; ?>

?>

The result? I didn’t find anything bad about it. I have found many blogs (like Sivel.com with this post or Benjamin Sterling Dot Com with this article) that are writting about the fact that separating normal comments from pings is a normal thing in Wordpress 2.7.

Ok. So what should I understand? That’s all about my wordpress theme’s fault?

As I needed a way to solve this problem, I modified this code…

<?php

<ol class="commentlist">
    <?php
wp_list_comments('avatar_size=35&callback=custom_comment&type=comment');
?>
    </ol>

?>

… by erasing the &type=comment part, in order not to make any differences between track-backs and normal comments. (As you can see, TypeBased Wordpress Theme is adding also an avatar and a new variable called “callback”.)

As the result code was…

<?php

<ol class="commentlist">
    <?php
wp_list_comments('avatar_size=35&callback=custom_comment');
?>
    </ol>

?>

… I saved the page, uploaded back on the server and saved also the day :-).
