As a public listed company, bad news always hit the market share badly. Google shares fell USD$10.57 after they disclosed the statement on the fraud case.

Investigations by Google found that BMW’s German website influenced search results to ensure top ranking when users searched for “used car.”

After follow Ah Knight’s instruction of updating wp_posts to_ping column, it seem like I can’t perform normal trackback again. I got it fix and download the files here. Or read below for more details, there are 2 files need to be change, which is;
file: wp-includes/function-post.php
line of code: 700
if ( empty($to_ping) )
return;
Instead of doing nothing here, we replace the return; to Ah Knight’s code, become;
if ( empty($to_ping) ) {
$wpdb->query("UPDATE $wpdb->posts SET to_ping = '' WHERE ID = '$post_id'");
return;
}
file: wp-admin/execute-pings.php
line of code: 22
while ($trackback = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE TRIM(to_ping) != '' AND post_status != 'draft' LIMIT 1")) {
echo "Trackback : $trackback->ID
“;
do_trackbacks($trackback->ID);
}
Some changes made here, make sure to_ping field is clean and make a trackbacks looping!
$trackbacks = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE TRIM(to_ping) != '' AND post_status != 'draft'");
if (is_array($trackbacks) && count($trackbacks)) {
foreach ($trackbacks as $trackback ) {
echo "Trackback : $trackback->ID
“;
do_trackbacks($trackback->ID);
}
}
Done, if you not sure what am I explaning above, you can download the file here in zip format, if you are worry the code is not working, backup your original file.
Happy Trackback!
