## Description

For a while, I’ve been a bit annoyed with WordPress losing pings (those automatic
links on your blog when someone links to you) anytime someone links to more than
one of my posts. It turns out WordPress’s comment flood prevention is getting in
the way. This plugin prevents WordPress from discarding these pings.

## Installation

 1. Unzip `wp_pingpreserver.zip`.
 2. Upload `wp_pingpreserver.php` to `wp-content/plugins`.
 3. Activate in the Plugins menu.

## FAQ

  Does this increase vulnerability to comment floods?

Possibly but I think only slightly. The increased risk should be minor as pings 
are still limited to 5 pings in 75 seconds (WordPress default is 1 comment per 15
seconds).
