Delete "Flagged as spam by Akismet"

You’re seeing a history remark of ‘Flagged as spam’ yet they were approved? Something is very broken in your implementation then, as a ‘true’ (spam) response should move the comments to the spam folder immediately.

What versions of WordPress and Akismet are you using? Have you made any modifications to core, or to the Akismet plugin?

Hi Greg,

I stopped getting spam post, but still lots of spam pingbacks.
My WordPress, Theme, Framwork, Plugins inclusing Akismet is all up to date and I didn’t change the core files.

I also now added script to stop pingbacks, but the still come through.
The ping are automatically approved, even though it says: “Flagged as spam by Akismet”

Any idea what’s goin on?

function disable_self_trackback( &$links ) {
    foreach ( $links as $l => $link )
        if ( 0 === strpos( $link, get_option( 'home' ) ) )
            unset($links[$l]);
}
add_action( 'pre_ping', 'disable_self_trackback' );

You should be able to disable pingbacks and trackbacks in your Dashboard under Settings > Discussion under the “Default article settings”. Just uncheck the box that says:

“Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)”

Hi, The spam is continuing.
