Stop spam comments with Akismet plugin for Wordpress
After only a little over a month of being online and offering free Wordpress hosting for Conservative and Libertarian bloggers, we’ve already began seeing a plethora of spam comment issues. As we grow, so will this problem. Therefore, it’s highly recommended that you activate the Akismet plugin located under the “plugin” tab of your admin/control panel.
In order for this hack to work, you’ll need an official Wordpress API key, which you can obtain here.
After you activate the plugin you’ll see a message saying you still need to enter the API key. Click on the link and enter the key. That’s it! You’re all set and the plugin “should” stop most, if not all, comments that Wordpress has deemed spam.
Enjoy!
