New in 2.0: Trackbacks are Gone
Trackbacks are gone in EE 2.0. The brainchild of Six Apart, they were meant as a way to connect conversations across the blogosphere. They’re mostly spam bait these days and I haven’t built a site with them in quite a long time.
Until someone builds a Trackback module for EE 2.0, you’re out of luck and have to make a decision when upgrading to 2.0.
The install/upgrade wizard gives you two options:
- Export your trackbacks to an archive.
- Convert them into comments and then have them deleted.
If you’re holding out for a third-party trackback module, I’d recommend archiving the trackbacks. If you’re not but want to save the data, option number two is your ticket.
