Whoah, killed my site

  • Just upgrade to the latest version of Akismet (wordpress already updated). Been running fine since April. Newest Akistmet release (4.0?) killed my site. Been trying for 30 minutes to get it to load (IIS restart, failed Akistmet plugin install removed, etc).

    Gonna be a long night I think. ??

    * Akismet 3.0.3, not 4.0.

    Yeah, it was a long night indeed. Had to manually remove the plug, which was easy since I run the server, but also had to remove all traces of references to Akismet in the PHP files with a text editor. THAT was the hard part!

    Once I cleaned everything out referencing Akismet I was able to manually install and manually activate version 3.0.3 of Akismet. Looks like two attempts to auto upgrade (the first failed attempt, cleanup, backup, second failed attempt) was the culprit.
