In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Auto-delete spam immediately?There’s no setting for that, but you can change the value with a filter, if that’s something you’re comfortable doing. It would look something like this:
add_filter( 'akismet_delete_comment_interval', function ( $days ) { return 1; } );This would reduce the maximum number of days a comment is left in spam to 1, which is the lowest number allowed by the Akismet plugin.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Whitelist specific email addresses?Not technically, but if you mark the comments as “not spam”, that will teach Akismet that those users are trusted, and their comments shouldn’t get caught as spam again in the future.
Akismet should auto-delete comments from the spam folder after 15 days. If that’s not happening, contact us at support@akismet.com and we’ll look into it.

Can you email us at support@akismet.com with your site URL and the reader’s username or email address? If you’ve previously approved their comments, it’s surprising that they would keep getting caught as spam.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] PluginYou will have to contact your webhost for help with this; it’s probably a file permissions issue that we can’t do anything about.
Thanks for reporting this; I’ll make sure it’s addressed in the next release.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Unable to access akismet settings@jane4jane I don’t see any record of those two sites registering with Akismet. If you can’t reach the Akismet setup page, can you try following the steps in the above thread to see if that helps?
