My apologies. I found this thread via Google and didn’t see the Forum Welcome.

I deactivated all plugins, reactivate just Akismet, and switched to the Twenty Fourteen theme. I’m still seeing the same problem – the Akismet settings page is blank (except for the Akismet label at the top of the page) and when I click on Comments from the admin interface, I see this at the top:

Akismet has detected a problem. Some comments have not yet been checked for spam by Akismet. They have been temporarily held for moderation. Please check your Akismet configuration and contact your web host if problems persist.

I came up with a workaround to get WordPress RSS working correctly on GoDaddy free hosting accounts. I put the details in this post:

That’s what I do, sort of. Since widgets.php is part of the main release, I am hesitant to just overwrite the new file with my old modified file because it is possible that the file has been modified in the new release. Instead I reapply all my fixes manually to the new file. Its not a ton of work, but it is extra work.

Ideally I’d like to have the RSS Widget set up like any other plugin, so that I can modify the plugin code like I do other plugins, via the admin interface. Then if a new version of the RSS Widget is released I can choose to upgrade it on my own schedule, as I do any other plugin.
