Akismet giving false positives regardless of user input

(@erichboyer)

Hi All.

I have a simple form with file upload setup and working properly.
When I enable Akismet, regardless of what the user inputs, I get “Your submission looks spammy” and nothing is uploaded to Media > Manage UGC for review.
Akismet is setup and appear to be “working” properly.
Here is the code for the form:

[fu-upload-form class="validate" title="Upload Your Pics/Vids!"]
[input type="text" name="post_title" id="name" class="required" description="Your Name"]
[input type="text" name="email" id="email" class="required" description="Your Email Address"]
[textarea name="description" class="post_content" id="ug_caption" description="Description"]
[input type="file" name="photo" id="ug_photo" class="required" description="Your Photo or Video"]
[checkboxes name="consent" class="required" values="1:By Checking This Box You Consent ..."]
[input type="submit" class="btn" value="Submit"]
[/fu-upload-form]

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Hey,

I’m not sure, it’s kind of hard to debug Akismet. If you post field values that you use I can take a look. As a workaround, I’d suggest disabling Akismet in the settings.

As usual, you can try to switch to one of default wp themes and disable all plugins (except Akismet), and then enable them one by one, to see if there’s a plugin conflict of some kind.
