Pingback Killer disables all of WordPress' pingback functionality.
Hate Pingbacks and Trackbacks? Me too. Pingback Killer disables of of WordPress’ built in pingback functionality.
This is a very simple plugin that…
1. Removes the X-Pingback
header WordPress sends
2. Causes any bloginfo('ping_backurl')
call to return an empty string
3. Hijacks the two options relating to pingbacks
4. Removes the /trackback/ rewrite rules
There are no options pages, it just works.

directoryAfter deactivating this plugin, you may have to visit the permalinks settings page and hit “save” to get the trackback rewrite rules back.
None so far.
