A Bit About Me

After ducking out of a career in Interior Design, I found myself working for Thomson Holidays as a Travel Consultant. Whilst trying to decide what I really wanted to do when I grew up I was given the chance of becoming the companies Intranet Developer (an area I knew nothing about!).

After a week of training I was left to my own devices. After much blood, sweat and tears, banging my head on the desk and almost throwing my PC out the window! I eventually got the hang of things and thought hold on, this might be something I could see myself doing!

That was over 4 years ago now, and to be honest, I haven't looked back! Thomson shut their Glasgow office in 2006 and I am now a Systems Developer for Barrhead Travel, I also like to dabble in Web Design in my spare time.

I’ve just spent the last couple of hours trying to figure out why I couldn’t receive trackbacks on this site. As it turns out the issue lies with my hosting company (names.co.uk).

Their website states:

Vulnerabilities found in xmlrpc.php
Due to a large number of vulnerabilities found in the xmlrpc.php library supplied with a number of online scripts, we have decided to block access to any page with this name.

While we have patched all the underlying libraries, we are disabling it until a more complete fix is found. If you are using xmlrpc.php, please update to the latest version and rename it.

Anyway, taking their advice I renamed the file and then changed the refrences to xmlrpc.php in both the new xmlrpc file (lines 31 through to 34) and in wp-includes/general-templates.php (lines 105 & 829), I then deleted out the old xmlrpc file and trackbacks are now working!

Additionally, I did come across a really good tutorial on http://www.optiniche.com which is step by step guide to trackbacks and how to use them.
