> So go into Plugins > Editor and select Akismet and delete the PHP in there?
Yes, just delete everything you can from that file; that should prevent Akismet from running at all.
If deleting the akismet/ folder via FTP didn’t help, then either you’re running an APC cache that is caching the files, or the error isn’t related to Akismet.
Try deleting the contents of the file via the plugin editor and/or deleting the folder (and any akismet.php file in the same directory) again and let me know if that allows you to see what plugins you’re running.
What other plugins do you have installed? And what theme are you using?
Are you able to view your site’s error log? If you are, any error that mentions Akismet would be helpful in resolving this.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Akismet has detected a problem…robc (and others): Give it another shot; I just pushed a change that I think should fix this problem without requiring you to modify your php.ini.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Akismet has detected a problem…robc: I would wager that you are correct; I’ll review our code today to find where we’re still not handling non-standard arg separators so that the issue can be fixed for everyone.
Thanks for following up with this.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Akismet has detected a problem…Enabling allow_url_fopen will have no effect; Akismet no longer uses that method.
robc: It’s possible that your problem was fixed by a change we made late Friday. Can you check again and let me know?

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] It has a viruselistrov: Akismet itself does not contain any code that would be flagged as PHP.Shell-83. It’s likely that your WordPress installation was compromised as described in this article, which also has some tips on preventing it from happening again: http://www.totalcomputersusa.com/2012/05/evalbase64_decodehardening-php-how-to-protect-your-site-and-your-visitors/

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Akismet / Jetpack?For sites that don’t use Jetpack, this doesn’t change anything.
For sites that do use Jetpack, the Jetpack connection can be used to simplify the process of retrieving the user’s Akismet API key.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Update to 3.0.0 breaks backendFor anyone seeing errors or a white screen, try the solution that user DerJudge discovered:

In short, disable any opcode cache, upgrade Akismet, and re-enable your cache. Alternatively, restarting Apache should accomplish the same thing.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] remove_filter bugAkismet no longer calls remove_filter in this manner, so the bug no longer applies.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Update to 3.0.0 breaks backendkhalidjaleel: Bizz Themes has released an update to your theme (v. 2.0.3) that fixes the problem.
DSchuler: Did you install WordPress manually, or was it an auto-install by your host? If by your host, which host are you using?
jlptbootcamp: It looks like your version of WordPress was manually modified at some point; line 331 of wp-includes/template.php in 3.8 was blank. See this: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.8/src/wp-includes/template.php#L331
Upgrading to 3.9 would indeed fix the issue, but so would reinstalling 3.8.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Where is the stats page of Akismet?Yes, under the Jetpack menu if you have it, otherwise under the Settings menu.
In either case, you can visit it manually at [your_site_here]/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=akismet-key-config&view=stats
