Do you know your WordPress blog pings unnecessarily every time you edit a post? Think how many times you click on “Save and Continue Editing” or “Save” button. Your blog will ping unnecessarily that many times you click on those buttons.
Save your blog from getting tagged as ping spammer by installing this plugin.
Update: WordPress Ping Optimizer is compatible with the WordPress 3.5.1.
Update: bug fixed Duplicate results in log and WP pinging all the time
Update Services
Currently I am using now the below list of the service -
http://rpc.pingomatic.com http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2 http://ping.blo.gs/ http://ping.feedburner.com http://ping.syndic8.com/xmlrpc.php http://rpc.blogbuzzmachine.com/RPC2 http://rpc.weblogs.com/RPC2 http://www.blogpeople.net/servlet/weblogUpdates http://xping.pubsub.com/ping/ |
How to Install and Use WordPress Ping Optimizer
**After you install WordPress Ping Optimizer:**
* When you create a new post, your blog will ping and notify all the ping services that it has been updated. This encourages search engines and different blog directories/services to index your updated blog properly.
* When you edit an existing post, it won’t send any unnecessary ping to ping services and saves your blog from getting banned by such services.
* When you post a future post by editing the time stamp, it will ping only when your post appears in future. It won’t unnecessarily ping many times when you schedule posts as WordPress does by default.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q) Ping Optimizer required with latest version of the WordPress also ?
Answer: Update Services are tools you can use to let other people know you’ve updated your blog. WordPress automatically notifies popular Update Services that you’ve updated your blog by sending a XML-RPC ping each time you create or update a post. In turn, Update Services process the ping and updates their proprietary indices with your update. Now people browsing sites like Technorati or Sphere can find your most recent posts!
Great info…I was using Pingler then they went to the dark side and had to find another one!

Getting an error, “Plugin NOT upgraded properly. Please reactivate the plugin.” I am on WP 3.3.1. How do I get it to work?
Ping Log
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 74 bytes) in /home/star2010/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1449
I get error message when trying to access Settings for WordPress Ping Optimizer. “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”
I am running WP version 3.41 and WordPress Ping Optimizer 2.2
Thank you
Ok, never mind. You can’t access the Settings through Plugin settings but instead through Dashboard, Settings, WordPress Ping Optimizer. Ok got it
If a blog is already listed in the so called black list then how to recover? Is it safe to use with the latest version of wordpress?
If I write some ping services in the field “Separate multiple service URIs with line breaks:” WordPress Ping Optimizer tells me in seconds that there are pings outgoing. They continue until I delete them all. I had over 6 Million lines in thecorreponding table of my WP-database!
Any suggestions?
I just installed your plugin, and after activation, I cannot do any settings. It has the error :
“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”
Is it because I have CB Net Ping Optimizer ? I did deactivate it before installing your plugin, but not delete it.
I think cb net also has an sql table …
Any ideas, Pankaj ?
This is the same issue I had with my website, why are you embedding a static iframe at the top of every page?
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-nextgen-195-high-jacks-wp-dashboard-top-space-with-ads
Please let us know when you fix this.
I have v2.1 of the Ping Optimizer together with WordPress 3.4.1 and I see the same problem reported by peyman below. Here’s how:
(1) Dashboard -> Posts ->All Posts -> [Edit any post, whether published or draft]
(2) Press Preview Changes.
A new browser opens with nothing but the following message:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/25/7874425/html/blog/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-ping-optimizer/cbnet-ping-optimizer.php:620) in /home/content/25/7874425/html/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 881
I canot see the preview of the selected post at all.
I also started to see problems with nextgen-gallery after updating PIng Optimizer. The slideshow feature of nextgen doesn’t work anymore.
Looking forward to an update to Ping Optimizer.
Thanks.
This issue is resolved now. There was bug in 2.1 so I release WordPress Ping Optimizer 2.2 with all bug fix which is compatible with WordPress 3.4.1 latest
Hi, Pankaj.
I rolled out update v2.2. Now I don’t see the header warning anymore; in fact, the preview function works just as expected.
With respect to nextgen-gallery, I still see the same problem. While the picture-list display works fine, the slideshow doesn’t. In the later mode, the browser simply busy-waits and the slideshow never starts.
I really can’t tell if this issue is related with Ping Optimizer. I’m just following the lead in the comment Richard pointed out above – http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-nextgen-195-high-jacks-wp-dashboard-top-space-with-ads
Anyhow, thanks for the follow up!
Yes you are right, the issue with WordPress Ping Optimizer has been rectify in 2.2 version, but I am not sure about the nextgen-gallery
After todays update my whole site was totally scrambled! Thanks for that shock. Will go back to the previous version.
Please test your code properly next time before deployment.
When is it safe to update again?
Relay sorry for all the inconvenience you guys, bug is fixed now. Please go ahead and use the latest version.

I tried 3 times to install and activate your plugin. Ech time I tried to activate it I received a fatal error message. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am using the latest version of WordPress.
I am looking on the issue, I will get back soon
When I try to install this plug-in it tells me that the file already exists. I am Using WP Dashboard and do not know where to go from here. I need this plug-in as my site has already been listed as spam by major Social Networking sites because of the overload of pings. PLease Help
Most probably you have installed already the WordPress Ping Optimizer, the local path is “/wp-content/plugins/wordpress_ping-optimizer” where you can go and manually delete and re-install.
For configuration go to the Setting->WordPress Ping Optimizer or you can see setting tab also in Active plugins page
