## Beschrijving

When it comes to spam and [pingbacks](https://codex.wordpress.org/Introduction_to_Blogging#Pingbacks)/
[trackbacks](https://codex.wordpress.org/Introduction_to_Blogging#Trackbacks), the
vast majority by far is via trackbacks rather than pingbacks. Very, very few people
use trackbacks for legitimate uses anymore (I’ve gotten less than 5 in the last 
8 months) as WordPress, etc. all use pingbacks now as their primary ping method.

I had already installed [Cookies For Comments](http://ocaoimh.ie/cookies-for-comments/)
which successfully stops most spam comments but I still had to deal with the tons
of trackback spam. So, I wrote this plugin.

It will disable new trackbacks across your site, both legitimate and spam. However
since very few people use trackbacks legitimately, this combined with Cookies For
Comments should cut your spam down to next to zero.

**Why should I use this plugin over one of those trackback validator plugins?**

Most non-Akismet style anti-trackback spam plugins work by connecting to the URL
that sent the trackback and looking for a link to your blog. The problem with this
is that many spammers actually post links to your blog in their spam posts rendering
those types of plugins useless. Even those that check the IP address to make sure
it matches are beaten by spam blogs (aka splogs).

In the end it’s up to you what to use for anti-spam, but I personally use Cookies
For Comments, this plugin, and then Akismet to catch anything that makes it through.

## Installatie

Extract all files from the ZIP file, making sure to keep the file structure intact,
and then upload it to `/wp-content/plugins/`.

Then just visit your admin area and activate the plugin. That’s it! There’s no configuration
needed (or even available).
