Compatibility with Akismet?

    Will this plugin function alongside Akismet?

    Does one make the other completely redundant? Is there any benefit to using Akismet alongside this one?

    Thanks.

    Hi @kodacollider,

    I’ll be happy to answer your question.

    The two plugins are perfectly compatible. WP-SpamShield will block the spam first, and keep it out of the database, so Akismet would be redundant. (Akismet filters differently, and evaluates spam after it has already been entered in the database.) However, if you want to use Akismet as a backstop, you are welcome to do so.

    I hope that helps! ??
