 * Hi, I was receiving lots of spam through the contact form on our site but we 
   already had akismet running.
    I noticed the spam was all from the contact form,
   so I read up on the docs and added the fields to my contact form which are noted
   here: [http://contactform7.com/spam-filtering-with-akismet](http://contactform7.com/spam-filtering-with-akismet/)
   I then performed a test on the contact form as it says at the bottom of the above
   page, however, the spinner just kept spinning and so I refreshed the page, but
   I now cannot get on to the site at all. I also updated the plugin before making
   the changes if that’s relevant. Any help would be greatly appreciated – this 
   is a business website and really needs to be up. Thanks,

 * Figure out what is happening by setting [WP_DEBUG](https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress)
   _true_.
