Thanks for the detailed info. Just for info of other forum users, my host is Dotster. I knew I was on php4, but really had no clue about the significance of this. I will contact them to request move to php5. I’ll post to let folks know their response.

cheers

Thanks for the advice guys. @govpatel I’m running Woothemes Canvas theme, so I don’t want to open twenty ten theme.

@dragonc I did scour the forum, and could see various other php errors, but no reference to a “bug in the new version”… do you mean new version of WP or of Akismet? I’m new at all this, so while I’m not doubting your instructions, they are not specific enough for me to be able to follow them. If there is an appropriate post on the forum that you are aware of, would you perhaps be able to post a link in reply?

Many thanks
