How to Remove Links Under a Post in WordPress
The blogging platform WordPress provides an incentive for bloggers to link to other bloggers' posts within their own blogs. This creates a link, known as a "trackback," that appears below the post to which the original blogger linked, which displays the name of the original blog to readers of the second blog, exposing the original blog to a new audience. Delete trackback links sent by scam websites that don't appear to have any connection with your blog.

Hover your mouse beneath the text of the trackback to view your options. Click "Trash" to delete the trackback permanently, "Unapprove" to remove it temporarily or "Spam" to delete it and to report it as spam, which prevents that website from tracking back to yours in the future.
