Disabled Trackbacks, but still getting them

Problem

I disabled trackbacks in the general WordPress settings, used the Simple Trackback Disabler plugin (because i’m too lazy to do it in mysql) and I still got trackbacks.

 

Solution

The Simple Trackback Disabler apparently doesn’t disable trackbacks for attachments as of this writing.  Next time, don’t be lazy, just do the sql query:

update wp_posts
set ping_status = 'closed'
WHERE `ping_status` = 'open'
