 * Since upgrading to the latest WP and Akismet I am getting the following error
   in my error log:
 * Warning: Missing argument 1 for akismet_cron_recheck() in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/akismet/akismet.php on line 422
 * Is anyone else getting this error?
 * The function “akismet_cron_recheck” is set to have one argument called $data,
   but it doesn’t seem to be necessary as the variable $data isn’t actually used
   by the function at all. Should it just be removed from the function?

 * Would be helpful if you can reproduce this on a fresh WP install with no other
   plugins activated and using the default theme. This could be a bug in Akismet,
   or another plugin doing something.

 * Joseph – I think it would be hard to replicate this on a fresh install as it 
   would be impossible to simulate the web traffic and the frequency of spam emails
   on a private URL. I will try it though…
 * cmetge – I think the solution is possibly to change:
 * function akismet_cron_recheck($data){
 * to:
 * function akismet_cron_recheck(){
 * but I’m not 100% sure…

 * I’m still doing more digging this area. I think I know what is happening, but
   will run through more tests to be sure.
