Have a Ping and Traceback problem when migrated in WordPress 2.9? I too experienced this one. I did the transition last week and really was annoyed knowing this new WordPress version had this problem. Though, a lot of new features and functions are included in this version but still we can’t deny the fact that PING and TRACEBACK is also very important.

Worry  no more! As I was browsing the cyberspace, I found a very perfect solution in this Ping and Traceback Problem! Karen of BlazingMinds did impressively tweak this php file. Amazing and Blazing mind you have Karen! Kudos!

Under your control panel, navigate to your “wp-includes/cron.php” … let’s edit a little code you may found in this file ….

Look for this particualar code (under “wp-includes/cron.php“):

$cron_url = get_option( ’siteurl’ ) . ‘/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron’;
wp_remote_post( $cron_url, array(‘timeout’ => 0.01, ‘blocking’ => false, ’sslverify’ => apply_filters(‘https_local_ssl_verify’, true)) );

See the red font color on the above code? It should be replaced with 1. And so the final code should be.

$cron_url = get_option( ’siteurl’ ) . ‘/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron’;
wp_remote_post( $cron_url, array(‘timeout’ => 1, ‘blocking’ => false, ’sslverify’ => apply_filters(‘https_local_ssl_verify’, true)) );

Just make sure you will back this file up so that if ever you’ll face a problem you can just go back over with the original file .

Thanks again Karen of BlazingMinds ! A great help for me and for everybody.
