Enable Refbacks on your WordPress site

== Description ==

Refback is a linkback method that works using the standard HTTP Referer header. Like pingbacks, trackbacks, and webmentions, it attempts to present links of other sites that have linked to you.
Unlike other methods, the other site requires no additional support. The implementation works exactly as the other linkbacks do in WordPress.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Why not use Webmentions? =

[Webmentions](http://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/) are preferable, however,  webmentions must be supported by the sender

= How can I send and receive Redbacks? =

On the Settings --> Discussion Page in WordPress:

* Activate receiving refbacks by checking the "Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks) on new articles" option.

= How do I supporting refbacks for my custom post type? =

When declaring your custom post type, add post type support for refbacks by either including it in your register_post_type entry or adding it later using add_post_type_support. This will also add support for receiving pingbacks and trackbacks as WordPress cannot currently distinguish between different linkback types.
