Omni Ping List Checker automatically keeps your WordPress ping list up-to-date with verified, working XML-RPC endpoints.
When you publish a new post, WordPress can notify (“ping”) blog directories and search engines. However, many default ping services are no longer active. This plugin fetches a curated list of actually working services, validated daily.
Features
- Automatic Sync – Updates your ping list on a schedule (hourly, twice daily, or daily)
- Verified URLs – Only includes services that respond with valid XML-RPC
- Smart Updates – Only syncs when the list has changed (uses checksums)
- Fallback Caching – Keeps a local copy in case the API is temporarily unavailable
- Manual Sync – One-click button to sync immediately
- Connection Test – Verify your API connection is working
- Site Ping Tester – Register your site and verify your pings are actually being sent
- Ping Statistics – Track total pings, success rate, and errors
- Beautiful Admin – Dark-themed settings page with Omni branding
How It Works
- Install and activate the plugin
- Configure the API URL (if using a custom server)
- Enable automatic sync
- The plugin will fetch the validated ping list and update your WordPress settings
The ping list is updated in Settings Writing Update Services.
Requirements
- WordPress 5.0 or higher
- PHP 7.4 or higher
- Access to the Omni Ping List API

Site Ping Tester (Optional Feature)
If you choose to use the Site Ping Tester feature, the plugin connects to an RPC endpoint to test that your WordPress pings are being sent correctly. This feature is entirely optional.

When data is sent:
* When WordPress sends a ping after publishing or updating a post (only if you have configured the RPC endpoint in Update Services)
What data is sent:
* Standard XML-RPC ping data (your site URL, post title, post URL)
* Your unique site token (to identify your site)
What data is received:
* Confirmation that the ping was received
* Your ping is forwarded to all verified ping services
