Question What are Trackbacks and how do they work in Composr?
Answer Trackbacks are a blogging feature that creates a link from an article on one blog to an article on another, acting as a citation mechanism.

How Trackbacks Work:
  • The original article includes a "trackback" link in its HTML.
  • When another blogger writes an article referencing the original, their software uses the trackback link to inform the original site.
  • Composr receives the trackback and displays a list of articles linking back to the original.

To enable trackbacks, go to Admin Zone > Setup > Configuration > Feature options and check the "Trackbacks" option. You can then enable trackbacks for individual content items.
