In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Akismet flooding my wp_postmeta tableFollow-up: you can feel free to delete all of those that are two weeks or older.
We’ll be submitting a ticket/patch with code that will replicate for bbPress what is being done with the equivalent data in WP comments, too.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Akismet flooding my wp_postmeta tableHi there!
In the WP Akismet plugin, we actually schedule an automated cleanup of the equivalent
comment_metarecords after a while, because they are large, and not useful once some time has passed.The ones you see are indeed for bbPress’ Akismet handling. I’d say it’s ok to delete old ones, but since we do not develop the bbPress integration, I’m asking their dev community in WordPress’ Slack instance, here.
In the WP AK plugin, we have a scheduled function Akismet::delete_old_comments_meta() to delete old akismet_as_submitted
meta records, because they are pretty large, and not useful at all after a while.
What would you think about implementing the same thing in the bbPress AK code?More immediately, can I tell that user that it’s fine to delete older entries?
And if so, what amount of time would you suggest he keeps them for (15 days in the WP plugin, but filterable)?You can follow that Slack thread to get it straight from the horse’s mouth, but I’ll update this forum thread with their answer as well, for the long term record.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Bugs on my websitePS: Unfortunately, such issues are not unusual with GoDaddy’s servers. And just as unfortunately, because this is their or WordPress’ update process, we, as plugin developers, have zero control over doing anything about it.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Bugs on my websiteHi there.
Sorry to hear about this.
The reason you are getting that error is because you seem to either be missing some of the plugin’s files, or because the file permissions are incorrect. That means the plugin can’t load those files, and the delete function is “wondering” why it can’t find all of the files.
The most likely reason for this is that while your WordPress instance was auto-updated to the latest version, something went wrong with the process (bad network, etc), and it wasn’t able to complete, leaving the plugin in limbo. 🙁
The easiest way out of this, as a non-developer, would be to use GoDaddy’s interface (or FTP) to browse to your sites’s
/wp-content/plugins/directory, and manually detele theakismetdirectory. Once that is done, you can reinstall the plugin within WordPress, reactivate it, and all should work flawlessly from then on.If you need help manually deleting the file, I’m fairly sure that the GoDaddy support staff can help you with that, or provide you very specific instructions on how to do so. Feel free to send them a link to this reply, so they can get it straight from the horse’s mouth.
Hope this helps!

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Legit bbPress replies sent to spamhow do I mark the false positive and missed spams? Just by clicking Not spam when they are legit and clicking Spam when they are not?
Indeed. When you do that, then the API can adapt on its own, by learning from its mistakes.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Legit bbPress replies sent to spamHi there,
I don’t think there are any settings to adjust at the bbPress level, but you should mark the false positive and missed spam as so. If I review the latest such reports we got for that site, they all date back to late May / early June.
On another note the sites you use your key on are not entitled to using a free one, since they’re commercial (selling courses, memberships, etc), and not personal ones. The D&D one is fine, since you’re not selling anything there. The commercial ones require a paid plan.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Problemas de inicio como administradorDe nada. Me alegra saber que encontraste una solución. 🙂
Thanks. We’ll think about it, but user-agent strings could be tricky to display in wp-admin, for multiple reasons: length, potential for XSS, etc.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Buddypress activity and AkismetIn your case, BuddyPress’
BP_Akismet::get_activity_history()gets some data in an unexpected format here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/bp-activity/classes/class-bp-akismet.php#L655And that leads to the error with
usort()you are reporting.I’ve opened a BP ticket for the problem here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8240
Could you maybe comment there, for the BP devs to handle that side of things?
I’ve also opened a Github issue for the WP Importer plugin, but that’s unlikely to be related to your issue: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-importer/issues/67
