  They work on my blogs. I’m not clear why they do not work on yours so I’ll tag this thread for Staff assistance. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  This theme, White as Milk, is now retired. We invite you to try out a newer theme; start by browsing our WordPress theme directory.

  Themes are retired when they do not support all WordPress.com features and I don’t know if this is related to your issue or not.

  Some others have reported the issue and “staff” said they were looking into it, but have not reported back. It would be nice to know!

  PS — the other person who logged this that I can is using The NotesIL Theme.

  Unfortunately, no other off the peg theme one essential feature that I need. Can one commission a new theme?

  Hi David,

  It looks like the pingbacks are working on your blog davidderrick.wordpress.com. On November 9th, it looks like you linked to a previous blog post in your post “Kristallnacht”. The pingback is currently showing on the old blog post as shown here:

  http://d.pr/i/DoSN

  Are you still having trouble getting these to work correctly?

  In regards to submitting a new theme, you can always submit theme suggestions here:

  Cheers,

  Thanks for the response. Yes, they are working correctly, but one was missed earlier at the time when various other people were noticing a bug, so I chimed in.

  Hi Jeremey,

  Perhaps you can assist me as well. I am having an issue with my pingbacks to WP daily prompts and challenges. It used to work just fine but stopped a working a few days ago…here is one example http://4thesensitive.wordpress.com/2013/11/27/daily-prompt-wicked-witch/
  Note: this issue is also occurring within all of my other blogs as well.

  Any help is much appreciated as I have searched through tons of forums and have not been able to find a solution.

  Hi -A,

  Just to confirm, at the time of posting, your blog was not set to private correct? The post was also published without a password on it? Lastly, have you tried one recently (within the past few days)? If so, could you point me to that post?

  Jeremey,

  Thank you for responding. I have been able to pingback to newer daily challenges could it be that because I was trying to post and pingback to older daily challenges that that is the reason it was not working? I am not sure if there is a date as to when you can stop connecting to them.

  Hi -A,

  It looks like the pingbacks stop being recorded seven days after the post is published, which is why you were having trouble with your post. If you post within the seven day window, you should be good to go!
