    What does this mean in the new update?:

    Akismet: Exclude the comment_author, comment_author_email, and comment_author_url values from the comment_content value.

    Will I lose Akismet functionality if I update to the new version?

  • You won’t lose Akismet functionality. I’m on the Akismet team, and this was due to a recommendation I made in a different support ticket.

    Previously, if a contact form was submitted by “Alex Smith” that said “Hello please visit my site.”, then CF7 would send these values to Akismet:

    comment_author: “Alex Smith”
    comment_content: “Alex Smith
    Please visit my site.”

    You can see the author is included in both places. Now, CF7 will send this:

    comment_author: “Alex Smith”
    comment_content: “Please visit my site.”

    Ah, I see. Thank you both CF7 and Akismet for your excellent work!
