Yep, those options are enabled already. I know some of my posts have been referred to by other people, but thinking about it, I\’m not at all certain if they used the TrackBack URL. I noticed yours is just the plain normal address, whereas mine apparently needs /trackback/ tacked on the end.

Is there anything you can recommend to try? Happy to go delving into any normal text based config files, not at all sure what I\’m doing with SQL, in case that limits any solutions. (Can\’t imagine it involves playing with things at that level, but just in case…)

I\’ve mirrored this comment on your site, in case the answer helps other people in the future. (I imagine your site might just get a little more traffic than mine ;>)

As for the trackbacks they should work automatically without plugins if you have these two options checked in the discussion options:

“Attempt to notify any Weblogs linked to from the article (slows down posting.)” Thats how you notified my site of your post, so it must be enabled
“Allow link notifications from other Weblogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)”

I think they ae both usually enabled by default so it should be working.
