In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] “akismet_spam_caught” actionHi there,
There is no implementation of the
akismet_spam_caughtaction, since it is there for you to add one.do_action( ‘akismet_spam_caught’, $discard );is where Akismet would run the callback you add through something likeadd_action( 'akismet_spam_caught', 'action_akismet_spam_caught', 10, 1 );, whereaction_akismet_spam_caught()would be your custom function to add more processing.See http://hookr.io/actions/akismet_spam_caught/

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Askimet Free apiYou can find the documentation for how Akismet works with Contact Form 7 here: https://contactform7.com/spam-filtering-with-akismet/
And here is an example of how to implement a privacy policy for your site using WordPress’ built0in tools: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-add-a-privacy-policy-in-wordpress/
Hope this helps,

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Contact FormHi there,
Akismet does work in the context of contact forms. If you’re using WordPress, you have multiple contact form options that directly integrate with Akismet, out of the box.
Jetpack has a contact form module (with Akismet support): https://jetpack.com/support/contact-form/
Contact Form 7 also integrates with Akismet: https://contactform7.com/spam-filtering-with-akismet/
If you are developing a custom form yourself, you might also be able to use a library to make your life easier: https://akismet.com/development/api/#use-a-library

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] I am not able to delete pluginHi there,
It sounds like something might have changed the permissions on the plugins files, which then leads to WordPress being unable to delete them.
If such is the case, the quickest and easiest way to remove the plugin completely would most likely to delete the
wp-content/plugins/akismetdirectory manually, using an FTP editor, or equivalent (SFTP, SSH, etc).Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Hide ip from commentsHi there Rodrigo,
I’m not aware of a built-in way to hide commenter IPs to non-admins in wp-admin, but it’s possible that you might be able to achieve it with a custom plugin. A quick Google search on the subject unfortunately did not return anything interesting on how to do so.
The two checkboxes and strings appearing under your comment form are not from Akismet.
* The 1st one is part of WP itself, and was introduced in WP 4.9.6. See “Commenter Cookie Opt-Ins” in this post.
* I’m not sure where the second on is from, but it’s most certainly coming from a newsletter related plugin you’re running on your site.Stephane – Akismet Developer

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Plugin wont update@faithandfabric : There are two paths you can take to solve the problem.
1. You can attempt to fix the file permissions as illustrated here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions (or see https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-fix-file-and-folder-permissions-error-in-wordpress/)
2. You can delete the Akismet plugin folder, and re-install the plugin the way you would normally do.
The 2nd way is likely the fastest/easiest. As Carolyn explained here, such permissions issues are sometimes the consequence of something having gone not quite right during one of WordPress’ update processes.
Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out to us via https://akismet.com/contact/ if you are still having problems after trying the above.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Android app + AkismetHi there,
Hmmmm, this sounds very strange! I use the Android app as well, and am not having such issues.
Could you describe a bit more what you are experiencing with the app, and/or how it fails?
Feel free to reach out to us at https://akismet.com/contact/, and we’ll be happy to dig into this further.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Is Akismet compatible with WP 5.0.3?Hi there @mastollhlwid
Akismet is indeed fully compatible with WP 5.0.3.
Would you happen to know what the error was, from your logs? A WSOD usually means a 500 error.
Please feel free to reach out to us at https://akismet.com/contact/, with details (hosting provider, error if you have it, etc), and we’ll be happy to take a deeper look at what might have happened.
One thing to look into, as I’ve seen that happen on some hosts, from time to time, is if the permissions on the Akismet directory weren’t changed to something that makes WP/PHP unable to load the plugin.

No problem. Glad you sorted it out. 🙂
Cheers,
StephaneHi there,
The error page you are seeing when someone tries to submit the form without some of the required information is not by Akismet, but by WordPress itself. It is the standard behaviour.
On my test blog, I also get https://cloudup.com/ckRxRaOScRq
You will get the same error if you disable Akismet entirely.
Hi again,
Unfortunately, the iTheme Security main pages do not have much info on what their supposed anti-spam measures are:
* https://ithemes.com/security/
* https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/akismetThe most they mention is enabling Google Captchas, which would probably not affect this.
If you are having further issues, do get in touch at https://akismet.com/contact with your API key, so we can review the data, and potentially take additinal measures to help you better.
Cheers,
Stephane – Akismet Developer.Hey there,
It depends on a lot of things, but Akismet’s result will supersede the discussion setting.
The first thing to try, so Akismet adapts its behavior, is to mark the messages it flagged as spam as not spam.
If you continue to see things getting flagged that you’ve marked as not spam, please get in touch with a few example comments and we’ll be happy to look into this further. Please reach out via our contact form and we can take a closer look:
