= Why This Plugin? =

WordPress's default pingback system is confusing and doesn't show you where links are coming from. This plugin solves that problem by:

* Extracting real page titles from linking sites
* Following redirects to find the actual source
* Showing you exactly which of your posts was linked
* Providing a clean, organized interface

**Upgrade to Pingback Source Reveal Pro** for email alerts, backlink verification, SEO insights, CSV exports, and more advanced features!

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/pingback-source-reveal` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress
3. Use the "Pingbacks" menu item in your admin menu to view and moderate pingbacks

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Will this slow down my site? =

No. The plugin only processes pingbacks when they arrive and stores minimal data.

Yes, the plugin works on both single-site and multisite installations.
