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.
