WordPress Plugin: No Self Pings

I’ve always like the auto-pingback functionality of WordPress because I’m often too lazy to do manual trackbacks.

That being said, I hate the internal ‘pingbacks’ that occur whenever I link to my own articles. Yes, they provide a way forward from older to newer articles, but they also clutter up the comments. So instead of deleting them, I eventually just shut off the auto-pingback feature. But since I’m lazy (see above) that meant that I’ve rarely ended up sending trackbacks/pingbacks when I link to other sites.

I’ve search for a plugin to fix this behavior in the past and have come up empty. But now that I’ve found No Self Pings, I’m thrilled (assuming that it works, of course).

Check it out if you like auto-pingbacks but hate self-pings.
