In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] WordPress.com account hacked?Yeah but when I did that, it told me I had no account!
“Your subscription is missing.
Since 2012, Akismet began using subscriptions for all accounts (even free ones). It looks like a subscription has not been assigned to your account, and we’d appreciate it if you’d sign into your account and choose one. Please contact our support team with any questions.”
So I did that but there’s no account to sign into, so I logged in and got this msG:
“No subscription found!
Thanks for logging in! It looks like your account does not have an active Akismet subscription.
If you need to change or cancel an existing subscription, please contact Akismet support and we’ll help you find the right account. Make sure you include as much information as you remember to help us identify the right one.
If you don’t yet have a subscription, you can sign up for one now.Update:
I have a nasty suspicion that my wordpress.com accounts have been hacked as my Akismet account has disappeared,that is, there’s no record of it. This is quite serious.
Appropos the above, because my connections are blocked at the WordPress.com end, I now can’t re-activate Jetpack!! Grrh!
Ok, got this from my hosting co:
Hi Bill,
I’ve just verified that these wordpress connections are leaving our network fine, but are failing to make the last hop onto WordPress’ servers; there is a block on your requests reaching WordPress, but it is at WordPress’ end (and instruction) rather than ours.
I have opened a ticket with them now, and put in place a minor redirect that will hopefully mean your requests here can still get through (though they may well be opposed to this, too). The site’s loading time has now dropped significantly for me; could you re-enable anything that’s been disabled and see if it’s still okay, please?

Email: support@positive-internet.comUpdate: Well I turned off Jetpack and it’s still the same (emptied cache, restarted Firefox etc), so it’s not Jetpack as far as I can tell.
I am still no nearer to figuring out what’s happening but I’m pretty sure it’s connected to Jetpack and/or Akismet. Here are the actual links that don’t work as far as I can ascertain:
Akismet:
Akismet server Network Status
66.135.58.62 Accessible
66.135.58.61 Accessible
192.0.80.246 Accessible
192.0.80.244 Accessible
All are accessible from the Akismet page on my Site but it’s not actually working (there’s no actual Akismet Stats page)RSS Feeds
http://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/feed/
http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/feed/WordPress Stats
http://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog=14806533Twitter Connection (Can’t find an actual WordPress URL but it’s Jetpack that’s handling it and although it says it’s connected it doesn’t stay connected, I have renew every time I make a post)
BTW, There are 593 spam comments that Akismet hasn’t caught (all in less than one day), so clearly things related to Jetpack ain’t working right.
Also, on the Akismet page, clicking on the link ‘Check Network Status’ does nothing, it just tries to connect forever (it says the links are all working but clearly not to my site).
Hi Richard,
Yes, it does seem to take forever to load. As to screenshots etc, well it’s more a case of what’s not there. So no internal site stats, Akismet doesn’t seem to be working; both my wordpress-sourced rss feeds don’t work and the Twitter connection (out of Jetpack) doesn’t work either (I’m just repeating myself).B
PS: Yes, the site is slow to load today. It seems to go up and down.
Not a problem:
MY active plugins (all up to date)

In reply to: Still have a problem with wrapping text around an imagedone that but I’m not clear on the relationship with the actual page. In other words, what am I looking for and what do I do when/if I find it?

In reply to: Still have a problem with wrapping text around an imageWell I’ve installed it and had a look at page of code off my site with it, but that’s about it.
BTW, I use Taco HTML Edit to view and modify ccs.

In reply to: Still have a problem with wrapping text around an imageHi Esme,
You’ve lost me now completely. I found a ref to#content .col01 .post-inner p {but as I’ve no idea what I’m looking for…Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Still have a problem with wrapping text around an imageOk, this is the relevant code I think that controls how images are displayed:
/* Image style -------------------------------------------------------------- */ img { } /* Image handling -------------------------------------------------------------- */ img.centered { display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } img.alignright { padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px; display: inline; } img.alignleft { padding: 4px; margin: 0 7px 2px 0; display: inline; } .alignright { float: right; } .alignleft { float: left }And I think it’s the function ‘inline’, am I correct?
