WordPress Update Links Solved
Since the release of 1.5, WordPress has included an “update-links” program that you can call periodically to check the latest updated time of the links in your link roll. This program queries Pingomatic, which returns a list links and update times.
However, if the links in your database are of the format “http://www.timeistight.com,” the Pingomatic API won’t recognize them, even if the site pings Pingomatic religously; the Pingomatic API responds only to links without the “www,” e.g., “http://timeistight.com”.
I first caught this in the forums, and immediately went to my Links Manager. It worked! (Thunderous applause: Time Is Tight)
This solves the following posts: Update links, Not all blogs updating?
