This is for Beta 9.8.2. If you have Beta 9.9, you already have Akismet installed.

1. You'll need a WordPress API key if you don't already have one. You can get one here... Where is my WordPress.com API key? « WordPress.com
2. Update your utils.php with this (click here) changeset
3. Update your /libs/comment.php with this (click here) changeset
4. Upload the contents of the attached file into your modules folder
5. Enable the Akismet module
6. Access the module by using the 'Spam' link at the top
7. Enter your WordPress API key

If Akismet says a comment is spam, it will not be saved. It just disappears.

If Akismet says a story is spam, it is still submitted, but there will be a link at the top to either confirm or deny that it is spam. Confirming will change the status to discard.

This is a very basic / beta module and more features are coming.

To UPGRADE, just upload the new file, replacing the existing ones.

This was already answered in a previous post. The module was an early early early release and those features had not been added in yet.

I'm still asking this too guys,

Are we only allowed using this key on so many sites. I try and add the key and when I press update it's the same thing. Asking me to add the key again.

Any advice? It's just no updating

Thank a lot for this, i'll try it.
Anyone know if there's a captcha module for pligg comments ?

A user just submitted a story from lifehacker.com. The akismet module says it's spam. I'v clicked on 'No, this is not spam', the story is accepted like no spam, promoted to the front page, but it keeps appearing in the Spam link at the top.
Any ideas?

I followed exact your instruction and I am used with Wordpress, so I did what I know and - works 100%!
Thanks. PERFECT!

I have the exact same problem. Same setup.

Thanks Ash. I really appreciate all you have done. This is a great Christmas present. I have been getting spam comments nonstop for a week at poppsychnews.com. I gave up and deleted old stories though. Time to start fresh with akismet and email user registration. Are you going to incorporate these features into 1.0?
