The following error message comes up only when Akismet 2.5.6 is activated:
Warning: Missing argument 2 for wp_widget() in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/267049/webspace/siteapps/143501/htdocs/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 76
Version 2.5.3 had been working without problems. I'd like to go back to it.

The proper fix is to upgrade from PHP 4 to PHP 5.2 or higher. WordPress no longer supports PHP 4.

That's nice when you control the server but most of us are tenants on a bigger system and the php version is what it is. I'd be happy to go back to akismet 2.5.3. Using older versions isn't mentioned on the Akismet site so I shall just have to not use it at all.

Version 2.5.3 of the plugin is available at http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/akismet.2.5.3.zip
If your host isn't willing to update versions of PHP that have officially been deprecated years ago then it is time to start looking for a better host.

Agreed. However, Akismet 2.5.6 still lists WordPress 3.0 as the minimum required version.
It guess either the required version should be bumped to 3.2, or a PHP 4 constructor should be added to akismet/widget.php.

We've asked the Akismet people to look into this.
