Hey, the plugin looks great but I’m having troubles activating the plugin. When I click activate I get the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/My_Website/public_html/wp-content/plugins/PingCrawl/PingCrawl.php on line 12 Any suggestions? I updated to the most recent version of WP in hopes that it would make the plugin work but no such luck. Thank you for any help.

@ebizza

I’ve been using both Contempt’s version and my own with YARP and both work fine.

I’ve released a hacked version of this that uses cURL so it should work with most shared hosts (I’ve tested it with Dreamhost, Media Temple, and HostGator).

http://www.klintron.com/linkcurl/

It also adds a settings menu that lets you choose between title, tag, and category as the basis for the Google search, allows you to choose how many links to post, and whether to verify the target sites accept pingbacks.

I prefer not to verify that pingbacks are accepted, for three reasons: 1) I get better quality results 2) It seems like most of the pinged sites were “bait and switching” – they appear to accept pingbacks but the pingbacks aren’t posted (and even if they do they’re probably using “nofollow”). 3) It slows down posting.

And yes, it works with WP 2.7

Yes, I meant Yet Another Related Posts. I want internal links set up.

In what sense?

Oh – you mean Yet Another Related Posts?

I think it should work – but that’s more content than links. This kinda mimics it.

Very cool mod. I hope more people are able to customize the plugin like this for their exact need.

Keep up the good work man.
