The “Pingbacks & Trackbacks Card” is a simple Double Card that displays the number of pingbacks and trackbacks received.
You can read more information on what exactly are Pingbacks and Trackbacks in the linked Wikipedia articles.
Both numbers by default display a percentage of the respective type of a linkback entry. So 55% pingbacks mean that 55% pingback entries have been saved out of all 100% combined with 45% trackbacks.
If you click on the number itself – it will change from the relative percentage to the absolute number of comments. So 55% pingbacks may become 42 of actual pingbacks.
The icon is a link to the “All Comments” page where comments are filtered appropriately:
- for “Pingbacks” – all pingbacks
- for “Trackbacks” – all trackbacks
