Akismet error

  • Since upgrading to the latest WP and Akismet I am getting the following error in my error log:

    Warning: Missing argument 1 for akismet_cron_recheck() in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/akismet/akismet.php on line 422

    Is anyone else getting this error?

    The function “akismet_cron_recheck” is set to have one argument called $data, but it doesn’t seem to be necessary as the variable $data isn’t actually used by the function at all. Should it just be removed from the function?

    Would be helpful if you can reproduce this on a fresh WP install with no other plugins activated and using the default theme. This could be a bug in Akismet, or another plugin doing something.

    Hi,

    I have the same problem with WP 3.0.3–fr_FR and Akismet Version 2.5

    PHP Warning: Missing argument 1 for akismet_cron_recheck() in /wp-content/plugins/akismet/akismet.php on line 422

    If you have the bug fix, tank’s

    Akismet Version 2.5.0
    All in One SEO Pack Version 1.6.13

    Joseph – I think it would be hard to replicate this on a fresh install as it would be impossible to simulate the web traffic and the frequency of spam emails on a private URL. I will try it though…

    cmetge – I think the solution is possibly to change:

    function akismet_cron_recheck($data){

    to:

    function akismet_cron_recheck(){

    but I’m not 100% sure…

    I’m still doing more digging this area. I think I know what is happening, but will run through more tests to be sure.

    Hi sammby and Joseph,

    Same issue PHP Warning: Missing argument 1 for akismet_cron_recheck() in /home/xxxxx/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/akismet/akismet.php on line 422

    first occurrence just today. WordPress 3.0.3, just updated akismet to 2.50 yesterday along with all-in-one SEO, Google Analytics and NextGen gallery plugins. So that is what changed.

    hopefully above provides some more info and thanks for efforts into resolution.

    Hi Folks,

    I too received the same error intermittently after upgrading to Akismet 2.5. I have drop a mail to their support, hope they could shed some light.
