Could I please get some help with this? I’ve disabled all the other plugins, except Akismet, and I still get the same error in the log. I’m forced to operate without Akismet, which means I get over 100 spam comments a day.
I’m getting the same error on another site, using different plugins. Would you please help me with this? I’m tired of deleting spam comments
If it’s any help to you, I’m running a multisite setup of WordPress. Everything’s updated to the latest version.

After updating to the latest version of Akismet, it’s impossible to comment on my blog, unless I disable Akismet. Everyone gets Internal Server Error in IE, or a white screen in Firefox.
The error in the logs is:
[Sat Mar 22 09:49:36 2014] [error] [client 89.11.148.131] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function filter_var() in /usr/local/www/apache22/heksebua/wp-conte nt/plugins/akismet/akismet.php on line 441, referer: http://lindaursin.net/follow-nature-and-spring-clean-your-business/
