In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Is this plugin GDPR compatible?We understand the importance of complying with these regulations on your site, and appreciate the seriousness with which you are approaching protecting the privacy of your site’s users.
If you decide you no longer wish to use Akismet on your site, we’d be sad to see you go. We feel confident that it is possible to run a site that complies with GDPR while also using Akismet, or any of our other products/services. However, we know that sometimes our products aren’t the right fit for everyone.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Is this plugin GDPR compatible?When Akismet is enabled on your site, only the personal data needed to carry out its core function of protecting you against comment spam is collected. In the language of the GDPR, this is a “legitimate interest” use of that data. In our view, additional opt-ins/notifications are not needed and can be potentially confusing.
There was a suggestion from another poster in this thread that we are selling the data we collect via Akismet. Note that we do not sell the personal data collected through Akismet or any other Automattic product. For more details, please review our Privacy Policy here:
https://automattic.com/privacy/
With further Akismet-specific details under https://automattic.com/privacy-notice/
Lastly, please note that we don’t keep the Akismet data for very long. We have a short retention period for this data of ninety days at a maximum, and all spam-related data is automatically erased, regardless, at that point.
If you have any other questions about how Akismet is complying with the GDPR, please let us know.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Help! “Fatal error” after update@mylibrarycardworeout: hi there,
The latest version of the plugin is now fine.
If you cannot login to
wp-admin, your quickest path to fixing your site will be to download the latest version (https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/akismet.4.0.6.zip) to your computer, expand it, and upload the content of the directory towp-content/plugins/akismet/via FTP.- This reply was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by Stephane Daury (stephdau).

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] configuring “alternative languages”Now, you did mention a linguistic website, which might get more complex, if the same site sports countless languages. The plugin will adapt to a site’s defined language, but anything more complicated would need to be custom coded by their devs around WP’s
WP_LANGconstant andget_locale(). They could, for example, set it on a per user basis, etc. This is beyond the scope of what the generic Akismet plugin is intended to do, but at least it can be extended to. 🙂Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] configuring “alternative languages”Hi there, sorry to hear that.
The plugin actually does that on its own, based on the value WP’s
get_locale()function returns, and transmits it to the API.[~/akismet-trunk]# grep -rn blog_lang . --include="*.php" ./class.akismet.php:12: private static $comment_as_submitted_allowed_keys = array( 'blog' => '', 'blog_charset' => '', 'blog_lang' => '', 'blog_ua' => '', 'comment_agent' => '', 'comment_author' => '', 'comment_author_IP' => '', 'comment_author_email' => '', 'comment_author_url' => '', 'comment_content' => '', 'comment_date_gmt' => '', 'comment_tags' => '', 'comment_type' => '', 'guid' => '', 'is_test' => '', 'permalink' => '', 'reporter' => '', 'site_domain' => '', 'submit_referer' => '', 'submit_uri' => '', 'user_ID' => '', 'user_agent' => '', 'user_id' => '', 'user_ip' => '' ); ./class.akismet.php:143: $comment['blog_lang'] = get_locale(); ./class.akismet.php:514: $c['blog_lang'] = get_locale(); ./class.akismet.php:653: $comment->blog_lang = get_locale(); ./class.akismet.php:703: $comment->blog_lang = get_locale();See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_locale
So if the site is set to Russian, it should benefit from said API.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] new versionHi there. Are you having issues with the 4.0.3 version?
Hi there,
We don’t support that, but you can probably use PHP to include the script.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Photo uploads getting flagged as spamHi there.
By “activity post with photos”, did you mean attachments (file uploads), or image tags?
Looking at your stats, I see that you don’t submit false positives back to Akismet (posts mistakenly marked as spam). Submitting false positives allows the system to learn and adapt to your (and/or the web’s) needs.
On another note, I noticed you’re using a personal/free key on a commercial site. If you choose to reenable Akismet, you should upgrade to a Plus plan. See https://docs.akismet.com/getting-started/free-or-paid/

In reply to: [Jetpack Post Views] Stats not updatingIt’s not made to get all posts (so for this plugin’s core needs), but for top posts (daily), we do have a handy endpoint, which will return multiple days worth of: https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/1/get/sites/%24site/stats/top-posts/

In reply to: [Jetpack Post Views] Stats not updatingare you suggesting to switch to REST API?
Nope, that’s not what I said. 🙂
I suggested Steven can feel free to make his multiple queries.
I only suggested he can look into the REST API for more goodness, not as a replacement.
