Cannot load akismet-admin.

Not sure why, but the scenario is disappear, it is solved for me..

Still a problem for me. Started with 2.3 and still present with 2.3.1. I am unable to delete spam in any fashion.

I got this lame response. I’m thinking TypePad is looking pretty good right about now:

This belongs either in the forums or on the WP plugins bug tracker.

What version of Akismet are you running? If you’re running a version lower than 2.1.2, you should download the latest version now.

Whoever’s monitoring these forum posts, this is NOT an alpha/beta issue, and does not belong in this forum.

I’ve had it occur in upgrading from 2.2.3 to 2.3 and 2.3.1 and I am now avoiding 2.3.2 like the plague.

I, and the others with whom this is happening, would simply appreciate some help, and would prefer a solution to being bounced around because we didn’t enter our problem in the right ticket database!

I just updated to 2.3.2 and I still have the same issue.

I am on a Windows server if that helps.

Without doing anything it is now working again!

I also got the same error when I upgrade from wp2.2 to 2.3.1 .

I’m getting this same error with the newset WordPress and the newest Akistmet versions!

Is nobody tracking this?

I’m on a Windows-Server.

This is NOT an Alpha/Beta problem!!!

I recommend the solution suggested by atrais, as it seems “the powers that be” are uninterested in a solution. Sign up for and install Defensio. Enable it, then disable and uninstall Akismet, and then the upgrades work just fine.

Though I didn’t have any problems with Akismet, and didn’t want to, in effect, penalize them by dropping Akismet, I do like Defensio better. It’s presentation of spam and potential spam messages is more compact (that is, in smaller font) so you can more easily speed through checking a whole list of them.

At this point, it’s more important to keep up with new WordPress releases, for the security issues if nothing else.

This error no longer occurs with WordPress 2.5. I’ve switched back to Akismet from Defensio. Akismet is a better blocker of trackback spam for sure, as I’ve gone from hundreds of such per day to a handful. Nice!

This is still happening to me, and have been like this for a very long time … Currently running WordPress version 2.5.1 on fbsd 7.0-p1 w/latest php5 from ports. Just upgraded akismet to 2.1.5, but problem is still there …

I have 88 spam messages caught by akismet, but when I try and delete them I am getting the “Cannot load akismet-admin” error.
This is with the latest WP 2.5.1 and Akismet 2.1.5.
As this appears to be platform independent I guess it probably does not matter that I am on Windows.

Can anyone suggest an alternative way to deleting the spam caught by Akismet?
