Well it was working great but now the pop up shows this message at the end:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: return_comment_type() in /home/mulligan/public_html/wp-trackback-popup.php on line 56

Any ideas?

I was missing a fuction in my plugin. I have added it and everything appears to be working correctly now (from my testing). If you still have any trouble, please let me know.

Well on most of my posts I actually don’t have any trackbacks or pingbacks, so it should be showing 0. Instead it is showing the number of comments, so I guess that means it’s counting too high. I figured that I would have to use the Eric Meyers plugin, but wasnt sure how. What did you tweak in his plugin, and how did you implement it on the index template?

Jennifer - Is it showing a number too high or too low? I ask because I’m not using that functionality of it. I’m actually using Eric Meyer’s plugin for the number of comments and trackbacks on my site. I believe I had to tweak that just a bit to show me the number of trackbacks and pingbacks.

I changed the query I used in the plugin. It had just been counting trackbacks and not pingbacks. It SHOULD now give the correct number. If not, please let me know.

Hey thanks for this plugin–I like that I can mimic the MT function of separating trackbacks with this. However, on my site when I implemented it, it will show the wrong number of trackbacks–it displays the number of comments. However, when I click on the link to display the popup, it does correctly show the number of trackbacks ACTUALLY in my post. Any ideas why?

WordPress Plugin: Trackback popup
Here’s another way to separate your comments from your trackbacks and show the number for each in WordPress.

I’m glad to hear someone else has a use for this.

Did you download the wp-trackback-popup.php file and put it in the main install directory? If you did and are still having trouble, let me know and I’ll try to troubleshoot for you.

Just tried this, and it’s exactly what I’m looking for. But when I click on a trackback link, the window only says:

No input file specified.

How do I fix this?
