In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Timeout of admin-ajaxYou have good points; I’ll make some time to look at improving both the performance of the spam recheck as well as the error handling.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Comments sent directly to TrashOk. Can you email me a screenshot of one (or more) of the comments that were sent to the trash? My address is finke@automattic.com.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Comments sent directly to TrashOk. Just to be sure that it’s empty and doesn’t contain some hidden character, can you go to /wp-admin/options-discussion.php on your site, select everything in the blacklist box, delete it, and then save?

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Comments sent directly to TrashWe can try a few more things here. How comfortable are you with the workings of WordPress? Are you able to find out the value of the ‘blacklist_keys’ option in the database?
If you’re not familiar with querying the database manually, this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-options-editor/ might be helpful.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Comments sent directly to TrashOne other thing to check is your Comment Blacklist at /wp-admin/options-discussion.php. Comments matching terms there will be put directly in the trash.
You do need a WordPress.com account in order to get an Akismet API key. Accounts are free, and you do not need to use WordPress.com itself for blogging.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] PHP 7.1.1 Warnings@woodsandhillsplc Which plugins are you running? If there’s overlap between your list and Milos’s, that could be a good clue towards fixing this.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] DebugThat is all expected debug output when WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG are enabled.
You should remove the file though, because the content exposes your Akismet API key.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Do I need akismet for my ecommerce site?No, Akismet would not provide any value to you if you do not have user-submitted content.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Trump spamIf it’s already been approved as a comment, Akismet won’t check it, since Akismet only checks new comments, or if you click the “Check for Spam” button in your WordPress dashboard, comments in your pending queue.
I’d suggest that you search your comments for “Trump” and manually mark as spam any spam comments you find there.
Can you email us at support@akismet.com with your API key and the site that is receiving spam?

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Question on spamDo you actually have comments disabled for those posts (https://codex.wordpress.org/Comments_in_WordPress#Turning_on_Comments_for_a_Single_Post_or_Page), or have you just removed the comment form? If you’ve only removed the form, spammers are still able to try and post comments, so you’ll need to ensure that you’ve disabled comments entirely.
If your sites do not allow comments or contact forms at all, then you probably do not need Akismet. You may also want to install a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-comments/ to more easily disable comments site-wide.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] PHP 7.1.1 WarningsI’m sorry, I missed your previous response with the list of plugins. I’ll have to install them and see which (if any) are interfering and causing the behavior you’re seeing.
Alternatively, if you’re able to disable any of them and see if Akismet continues to generate those errors, it would be very helpful to have as many eliminated as possible before I start testing.
