== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Are there any settings? =
No, there are no settings. Once activated, this plugin disables all trackback functions.

WordPress allows you to disable the receipt of pingbacks or trackbacks, but not one or the other. This just handles trackbacks at a very basic level.
