Akismet compatibility

    Hi looking at putting FV Antispam on some client sites. But with Automattic changing the license for Akismet I have been using TypePad AntiSpam on most and testing AntiSpam Bee on others. Will your plugin work with these or does it have to be Akismet?

    We should be compatible with Typepad Antispam. Antispam Bee and FV Antispam are mainly duplicate functionality.

    We prefer FV Antispam of course but there’s lots to like about Antispam Bee.

    I’d love to hear about your success with Typepad Antispam together with FV Antispam. Please let us know how it goes.

    I agree that the license fees for Akismet are pretty stiff for those who decide to pay. We paid $800 this year and that’s too much for a single year.

    The plugin sounds really good although for some reason is not replacing the textarea. So, the form now has two. Any ideas what may be causing this? I’m using the latest WP.

    Thanks

    Hello Poli,

    my guess be that your template is using some different HTML for the comment form (it should do it with a WordPress function) and that’s why the special CSS is not working and two textareas appear instead of one.

    If you are using any publicly available WordPress template, we can check it out and see what could be wrong.

    Also, try clearing any WP cache you are using and browser cache.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Thank you, Martin, for you reply. I appreciate it. I was guessing that it was to do with something like that but couldn’t find any offensive HTML. If you have the time a similar form is being used here:

    Thanks

    It could also be due to CSS. Maybe one of the lines in your template CSS is forcing display for the textareas.

    I added your question into FAQ section.

    Thanks,

    Got it! The textarea has to have id=comment not just name=comment. Sorry, for wasting your time.

    Thanks

    Thank you for that, it’s a nice addition into our FAQ!

    Thank you for it
