NicePost….how do you disable trackback in all post and what plugin is the best to prevent spam comment..
Hi Fabinu,
There is a simple string you can apply in your phpAdmin that can stop trackbacks, but since most people won’t love to mess around their database, you can make use of the Simple Trackback Validation Plugin.
For the anti spam plugin, I stick to Akismet and Comluv plugin. I hope they work for you too. 🙂
Nice info there. Had used the option a couple of times on my blog when i felt that the article could be a bit controversial.
You are right Philip.:)
