In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] xmlrpc.php xml-rpcNo, Akismet does not use xmlrpc.php, so you should be free to disable it.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] My keys wiped out every now and thenNo, that is not intentional.
The key is stored in the
wordpress_api_keyoption in your options table. Are you running any plugins that might regularly remove data from that table?Did you ever get a definitive answer on whether Akismet was slowing your site?

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Not needIn that case, you’ll need to raise the issue in the support forum for the Alpha plugin. We can’t control whether Akismet is re-installed, but I do agree that it shouldn’t auto-activate it if it’s already deactivated.
Can you elaborate on how the user agent would be helpful information when viewing comments in the WP admin?

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Not needAre you using any non-standard update system? If you uninstall or disable Akismet, it shouldn’t re-install when you update, unless you’re doing something like running the WordPress Beta Tester plugin.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Is my website dead?That’s great to hear; I’m glad it worked out.
I believe this means that someone tried to access wp-content/plugins/akismet/akismet.php, and your server (correctly) denied them access, since there is no reason to access that file directly.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Is my website dead?Hi Elby,
At this point, I think you will need to contact your webhost for assistance. I would recommend asking them if they can restore it from a backup taken before you updated, and if not, if they can help with fixing the error that’s appearing. There’s not much more I can do here to help you.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Is my website dead?The code says that it’s looking for a file in the Akismet Privacy Policies plugin (which is run by a third party, not Akismet). Did you remove that plugin? Some code on your website is expecting it to be there.
If you’re able to put it back via FTP or SSH, try that, and see if it fixes the problem.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] ‘Check for Spam’ button acting weirdlyI can reproduce this, but only if I click on “Check for Spam” before the page has finished loading. I’ll work on fixing that.
Do you still see the error if you wait for the page to finish loading before clicking on it?
