supportI’m not normally this opaque but someone walk me through this: I want to enable webmention not for display but just for my own notification purposes, and the easiest way to not have things display is to disallow comments. If I disallow comments, does that basically also disable webmention?
Hey @bixfrankonis sorry for the late reply! Webmentions do work even if comments are disabled. To disable Webmentions, you have to disable pings (pingback/trackback) for posts. Does that answer your question?
Yes, it does. Here’s another because I’m really very low cognitive resources right now: What specifically do I need to enable, and/or not disable, in order to send and receive all of trackbacks, pingbacks, and webmention? Alternatively, I noticed that webmention.io has a way to forward pingbacks to webmention in order to avoid XMLRPC. Is there a way to do that with this plugin? Or does this do that automatically and it meant to basically be a drop-in replacement for trackbacks/pingbacks, period? Assume for all of this that despite being cognitive low resources, I’m on self-hosted WP on my own VPS and can do whatever is necessary as long as it’s spelled out for me. Thanks.

I didn’t describe that very well at all. I want webmention. I do not want to have to also allow trackbacks or pingbacks, because I do not want the gaping hole of XML-RPC open. Is this not possible?
