Thousands of [akismet_debug] lines in debug.log

No changes were made to the debug logging; is it possible you had manually edited the last version of the plugin to disable Akismet logging?

You can disable Akismet logging by adding a filter to akismet_debug_log that returns false.

I’m sure I don’t touch neither Akismet nor any function/filter about akismet debug.
I’ve added

add_filter( ‘akismet_debug_log’, ‘__return_false’ );

to my theme’s functions.php file.

Thanks

Do you have a real need to have debug enabled all the time? In WP it’s quite verbose. Unless you’re actually troubleshooting something, you should turn that off in wp-config.php.

Hi Greg,

of course I don’t need debug enabled all the time and yes, I’m troubleshooting something – that’s not akismet.

I supposed akismet won’t fire debug info by default but only if needed upon activation of debug function.

In fact no other plugins are filling my debug log… only akismet.

By the way I disabled it, as reported above.
Thanks
