In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Warning: Illegal string offset 'time'I’m looking into this — I think I know why it’s happening, but I need to get a BuddyPress installation set up in order to confirm.
It does sound like a problem on your host’s end, probably that your site is unable to connect to Akismet’s servers. Check the hosting instructions here: http://blog.akismet.com/akismet-hosting-faq/, and send that link to your web host if you’re not able to implement those changes yourself.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Breaking Media JQueryI installed all of those plugins and wasn’t able to reproduce the problem, but it might be related to your specific plugin settings.
If you right-click on the page, choose Inspect Element, and then click on the Console tab, and *then* try choosing a featured image, does anything show up in the Console tab?
(Commented on GitHub as well.)
If you have visibility conditions set on all of your widgets, and none of those conditions can return true before the template_redirect call, and is_active_sidebar() is called before template_redirect, then no, I don’t think it can return true. There would be no way to determine whether the sidebar should be active, so it’s a bit of an undefined situation.
Thanks for all of the investigating, everyone. I think I’ve fixed this issue, and would appreciate if you’d confirm by updating your
modules/widget-visibility/widget-conditions.phpfile to match the one from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Automattic/jetpack/a29a47f2d85f6f2ba788b6d3f2143dcc8db092f6/modules/widget-visibility/widget-conditions.phpThe tl;dr is that the new caching I added to decrease server load for Widget Visibility users exposed an unexpected behavior in some themes/plugins that do fancy things with sidebars (like Infinite Scroll), because some of the visibility conditions don’t return true until the
template_redirectaction has been passed.Widget Visibility is now a little smarter about what lookups it caches, and it should be functioning properly while still decreasing server load.
I’ve been trying to reproduce this under lots of different conditions and have still not had any luck. For those of you who it’s happening to: do you know what PHP version you’re running? Or whether you’re using any caching layers like APC or Memcached?
Version 3.0.4 is scheduled to come out later today.

In reply to: Akismet plug-in is causing Add Media and Insert Link Buttons to FailHi Sarah, what theme are you using? That can sometimes be a contributing factor.
Also, what browser are you using?

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] How do Akismet.com means free API Keys=In the right-hand column of the registration page, there’s a place where you can choose to make an optional donation to support Akismet. If you slide that all the way the the left, it will show $0 and you won’t have to fill in any payment information.
Are you running any other spam-related plugins?

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Akismet analyzes admin too?Akismet wouldn’t be doing anything because of you editing posts, so it would have to be another plugin.
