In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Clutter in debug.logYes; to disable Akismet logging when you have WP_DEBUG_LOG turned on, add a filter on akismet_debug_log that returns false:
add_filter( 'akismet_debug_log', '__return_false' );- This reply was modified 8 years, 11 months ago by Christopher Finke.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Does Akismet check the your-message field for spam?My initial response above was intended to give you a way to confirm that Akismet is checking the other fields. You don’t need to put a tag in your-message field code. It should just look like this:
[textarea* your-message]
Contact Form 7 will send the contents of all fields to Akismet. If you want to confirm this, make a form with just an author field (tagged with akismet:author) and a message field, and when you are filling out the form, use a normal name like “John Smith” and put “akismet-guaranteed-spam” in the message text box. This comment should be caught as spam.
If you’re still experiencing this, could you contact us at support@akismet.com?
I don’t anticipate making this a core feature of Akismet, since on most sites, logged-in users can’t always be expected to be non-spammy. However, you could write a simple plugin that bypasses Akismet for logged-in users on your site. It would look like this:
`
<?phpadd_action( ‘init’, ‘skip_akismet_for_logged_in_commenters’, 99 );
function skip_akismet_for_logged_in_commenters() {
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
remove_filter( ‘preprocess_comment’, array( ‘Akismet’, ‘auto_check_comment’ ), 1 );
}
}
`Regarding the LinkedIn links — they’ve made a change recently to block the URL preview service. I am waiting to hear back from them as to whether they’ll change their mind on that. I will follow up here when I hear back.
Thanks for reporting this. I’ve reported the bug with the blank Facebook URL previews to the team that runs the preview image system, and I’m looking into the LinkedIn issue.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Does Akismet check the your-message field for spam?viagra-test-123 in any field except for your-name won’t trigger Akismet. If you want to trigger Akismet via the your-message field, do your-message = akismet-guaranteed-spam.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Does Akismet check the your-message field for spam?@takayukister That’s correct. I believe that Contact Form 7 does send the message field as the
comment_contentparameter, butviagra-test-123only works for the comment author field.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Does Akismet check the your-message field for spam?Akismet developer here. If the message field is set to
akismet-guaranteed-spam, it should get caught as spam 100% of the time.Thanks for the reminder. I’ve removed the old hacky workaround, since we stopped supporting WordPress 3.3 a while ago. You can either test your system with Akismet trunk, or wait for the next point release to come out.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] FALSE POSITIVESA false positive is a comment that Akismet marked as spam but you reviewed and determined to be a legitimate comment. After marking it as not spam, the comment will be moved out of the Spam queue and you are free to reply to it.
