akismet key

  • I couldn’t find the askimet key. When I try to create an account, it says I have one, but there is no way to recover the key.
    What do I do? The spam is overwhelming.

  • Akismet uses your wordpress.com account to register the Key
    So if you have an account there, that’s the login.

    When you are creating an account, click on the “I already have a wordpress .com account” at the top of the form. (blue letters just below the title.)

    It will then take you to a place to sign in, rather than create an account.

    here you will find “forgot your password?” below the form to the right.

    Then just follow the steps to get your account info, then head back and sign in to register the Akismet API Key.
    Just a heads up: Akismet is not free. For a one-site plan, I think it is 5 bucks a month.

    There are some free ones out there in the wordpress plugin database.

    For example
    Anti-Spam

    Akismet is not free. For a one-site plan, I think it is 5 bucks a month.

    The quote below from the plugin’s introduction page makes it more clear:

    PS: You’ll need an Akismet.com API key to use it. Keys are free for personal blogs, with paid subscriptions available for businesses and commercial sites.
