Akismet Anti SPAM AddOn/Hack

[derlitograph]

I don't know if I have the original index.php somewhere.
Does Askimet work good as standalone?

[austriaka+]

yes, together with the 1.6 which has strong built-in spam defeat it is almost 100%

akismet does a decent job in catching spam. When you upgrade to Pixelposr1.7, you will have the option of using a brand new spam catching service named Defensio. I hear is just as good (if not better) than akismet.

I'm really a bit scarred of updating to NEW pixelpost version. I managed a lot without even knowing good HTML and so on but the last time I was trying to update I killed my whole blog and all the images were deleted. I don't know how to backup and install correctly in each step allthough I read a lot about it. SQL is difficult etc.

[austriaka+]

so please wait for the 1.7 version to become public, then there will be a detailed instruction for backup in the documentation section

[derlitograph]

okay. and until it will be published I take out the captcha addon. When will the 1.7 be released?

[Dkozikowski+]

There is a release canidate avaliable for download now. A final release will be ready soon.

I'm confused, with the new upgrade do I still have to add html to make it work?

What do you mean? Add HTML? For what?

You mean the Akismet Addon? No, you don't have to add anything for making it work. Just get your Worpress Key at http://wordpress.com, enter it in the field in Admin Options Spam control page, set the days you want to keep the Akismet and it will start catching spam for you. Akismet Addon is no hack anymore but an official and real Pixelpost Addon
