[Plugin: Grunion Contact Form] Fatal error: Call to undefined function akismet_http_post()

Before I wrote this, I made sure Akismet was neither active nor inactive. I also tried this plugin on another domain (both hosted by DreamHost) that definitely has Akismet active. I got the same error message…

Let me know if you still want me to do your instructions; however, I won’t be able to do that until later.

Thanks.

From the WP Install that doesn’t have Akismet ACTIVE (although it is INACTIVE) in the list of plugins — sorry for the error in the initial post…….

Anyone out there, now that the holidays are over?

Thanks.

Well, it didn’t work on an install with Akismet or even without. Not sure what my issue was.

I tried your update on the site with Akismet active and it still didn’t work. I now have 3.0.4 and did the most recent Akismet updates and tried it again (didn’t change anything else) and it worked.

And I added your update to the site where Akismet is installed but inactive and it worked too. Thanks a lot!

QUESTIONS:
1) I also have the plugin “Simple Select All Text Box” (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-select-all-text-box/) installed and it works according to my settings (1 row/line tall, even though the code is longer than one line) when the contact form isn’t on the page and also once the comment form is submitted (i.e. “message sent”). But at initial page load, the text box is several lines tall. Are these 2 plugins messing with each other but only when the form is in the “fillable” stage?

2) Are there any suggestions/settings for a way to have a “click here to contact” button that, once clicked, just displays the contact form right there, in-place?

3) Are there settings to edit what is added to the end of the email body text? For example, do not display whether or not they are a verified visitor of the site, do not display Subject in the body of the email, add “blah blah blah” before/after the user’s message, etc.

4) (MOST IMPORTANT) can the multiple email addresses be BCC instead of TO?

THANKS A MILLION! 😀
