question on pingback error

I am pretty sure the URL links were well formed and I can click
through to the referenced site. The pingback plugin is activated.
Admin-Logs now shows
17 - The source URL does not contain a link to the target URL, and so
cannot be used as a source. (Source:

Any ideas ?

I note that the link to your own site doesn't have a pingback from
this post, either. Is it perhaps pending moderation? That would be
one way to determine whether the problem is with you sending pingbacks
or that other site receiving pingbacks.

I don't see that string anywhere in our code, which leads me to
believe that it's an anti-spam mechanism on shegeeks.net's end.

and report back.

However Andy C's post does link to shegeeks, contrary the message, so
perhaps pingback isn't sending the right information? Or perhaps the
shegeeks implementation is broken.

Forget shegeeks.net - my ping to that site is probably stuck in the
bowels of Akismet hell.

I was expecting a pingback on the latter entry in Admin-Comments but
didn't get one (Unapproved/Spam/Approved)

Yes, but the error you posted was specifically related to that site.

Did you specifically select the "pingback" type from the drop-down?
The moderation queue only shows comments by default.
Likewise, you could visit your dashboard, and if you have pending
pingbacks it should tell you there.

No. I am ashamed to say that I foolishly thought 'All' meant 'All'.
Particularly, when the drop-down options are: 'All', 'Comment',
'Pingback' 'Trackback'. So 'Manage Comments' really does do what it
says on the tin. It solely manages comments unless you explicitly
specify otherwise. May I suggest the drop-down displays 'Comments'
rather than 'All.
I am doubly ashamed to admit I never visit the dashboard. Ever. I
actually thought the Admin menu only contained the drop down items
(Options, Plugins etc). I didn't realise it was the epicentre and the
main adminstration interface for a Habari blog.
This was clearly a mishtake and represents a Eureka moment for me for
me because the information ('5 pingbacks awaiting moderation' with
hyperlink) was nicely presented there and would have saved all this
heartache. Also, now I can see those elusive Feedburner stats :-)
PS. I don't know if it's just me and whether I have unusual data but
the dashboard is very, very S L O W for me. So slow, I would probably
get bored and click elsewhere.
My dasboard renders (is that the term ?) in 15-20 seconds.
Consistently. And I don't think I have Giagbytes of spam or garbage
data causing any slow queries. Is this normal ?
Thanks as always. Your time is much appreciated.

It is my opinion that this is a defect. When one selects "all", they
should get all. If that screen defaults to comments, it should select
"comments" from the drop-down to indicate that.

Groovy.

It's possible that it's bogging down trying to get the list of
incoming links from Technorati.
