Patching a trackback bug…
I hadn’t ever noticed this before, but Wordpress has a small bug when you trackback to a page after clicking ‘Save and Continue Editing’. Instead of using the permalink, it uses the index.php?p=123 format.
The bug stems from Wordpress caching the page after clicking save. Wordpress creates a draft, and does not use the permalink structure in this draft. Fortunately, there is a plugin called FixBack that fixes this problem.
After a simple download, activation of the plugin, and a trackback to a related site, it appears to be working correctly.
