And now suddenly, the “ignore tweet” list doesn’t seem to work, as it’s letting through tweet-trackbacks of usernames that I’ve explicitly excluded in the Settings. Deactivating this plugin until a version fix is released… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Incorrect Calendar Widget Display](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-calendar-widget-display/) * [popstat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/popstat/) * (@popstat) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-calendar-widget-display/page/2/#post-1334076) * Confirmed that switching Timezone setting to UTC time provides the workaround for this bug. I guess next step, if they don’t want to truly fix, is to eliminate the cities drop-down list. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Incorrect Calendar Widget Display](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-calendar-widget-display/) * [popstat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/popstat/) * (@popstat) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-calendar-widget-display/#post-1333995) * Bump.

However, that doesn’t absolve the Akismet devs from communicating their changes on the actual plugin page, or at Akismet.com, or somewhere else obvious — why should users have to dig for this basic info? Not everyone is comfortable looking at techie logs. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Weird comments in blog!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weird-comments-in-blog/) * [popstat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/popstat/) * (@popstat) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weird-comments-in-blog/#post-900902) * This is spam, of course. It’s basically [a spamming false-positive technique called “poisoning the well”](http://dougal.gunters.org/blog/2005/12/06/poisoning-the-well). Marking these as spam will teach Akismet to start blocking them in short order. If they bother you that much in the meantime, you can always block that IP address( 94.102.60) in your Settings. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [What’s new in Akismet 2.2.2?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whats-new-in-akismet-222/) * [popstat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/popstat/) * (@popstat) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whats-new-in-akismet-222/#post-913430) * Still no excuse for providing not even bare-bones documentation — that’s sheer laziness. If you want to risk installing and then dealing with something breaking( which happens all too often with plugin upgrades), be my guest. If it’s some minor tweak that’s not going to make any difference, then I’ll pass. The version of Akismet I’ve got running is running fine, so it’ll take something compelling for me to mess with it. * And lo and behold, I see that 2.2.3 has just been released — again, without a peep as to what’s been changed. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [What’s new in Akismet 2.2.2?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whats-new-in-akismet-222/) * [popstat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/popstat/) * (@popstat) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whats-new-in-akismet-222/#post-913415) * Anyone want to answer this? Releasing these sub-versions with accompanying silence is truly obnoxious. I’m not going to blindly upgrade without knowing what I’m installing. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Akismet Broken in WordPress 2.5?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/akismet-broken-in-wordpress-25/) * [popstat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/popstat/) * (@popstat) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/akismet-broken-in-wordpress-25/#post-726211) * Gee, WP developers being rude? That’s a first [/sarcasm]. And I see that Akismet v2.1.5 was just let loose, I’m going to assume that this fix is the only thing that’s been changed, so I won’t be bothering with the upgrade there. Thanks again 112502. (Hopefully you’ll get an acknowledgment of your work.) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Akismet Broken in WordPress 2.5?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/akismet-broken-in-wordpress-25/) * [popstat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/popstat/) * (@popstat) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/akismet-broken-in-wordpress-25/#post-726209) * You da man! I applied the fix, and it worked like a charm. Thanks. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Akismet Broken in WordPress 2.5?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/akismet-broken-in-wordpress-25/) * [popstat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/popstat/) * (@popstat) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/akismet-broken-in-wordpress-25/#post-726188) * I can confirm this same problem. I recently upgraded from WP 2.1.3 to WP 2.5. You can’t page-forward (or back) beyond the first page of 50 caught spams. I’m showing Akismet plugin version 2.1.4 running, which I believe was auto-updated right after I installed the WP upgrade; furthermore, I don’t see a more recent version on Akismet.com. * Any recommendations? I get enough daily spam that I need to check at least 2- 3 pages beyond the first page. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Have an idea for a plugin?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/have-an-idea-for-a-plugin/) * [popstat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/popstat/) * (@popstat) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/have-an-idea-for-a-plugin/page/2/#post-548146) * I’d love to get a plugin that restores the “days” option for the what_to_show attribute, instead of limiting it to just number of posts: * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/105812](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/105812) * Don’t know why WP devs decided to disable it for 2.1, but I much prefer my blog’s front page to default to that output. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [what_to_show option changed in 2.1?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what_to_show-option-changed-in-21/) * [popstat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/popstat/) * (@popstat) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what_to_show-option-changed-in-21/#post-522817) * I want the days option for what_to_show in Blog Pages reading Option, as well. * Why was it removed in the first place? I can see where it was whacked: * [http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/1500](http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/1500) * Is there a hack or plugin I can use to bring the effect back? I write multiple/ variable number of posts per day, a “Show at Most” option based on number of posts is useless to me. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Google Adsense only showing Blog ads](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-adsense-only-showing-blog-ads/) * [popstat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/popstat/) * (@popstat) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-adsense-only-showing-blog-ads/#post-268508) * Another thing you could try: [AdSense section targeting](http://www.populationstatistic.com/archives/2006/01/16/adsense-section-targeting/). You can add tags that (supposedly) draw the AdSense bot to specific content areas, and away from others. So you could weight=ignore to things like your sidebar, and weighted tags to the post areas. * I implemented it a couple of months ago, and while I still get the “start blogging” ads, it’s not as acute as it used to be.
