Optimize for use with Akistmet?

    So – after all the running around to find out there was a separate trigger option for comments on pages versus posts, our notifications are finally working as you’ve intended, thank you!

    However, we’re getting bombarded with comment notifications on both pages and posts that usually end up being spam. In fact, we had Akismet set to auto-delete messages that it determined to be spam, so when BNFW would send us a notification, and we logged in, there would be no comments.

    I’ve since changed the setting for Akismet to put spam comments in the spam folder for review.

    My question is: the native WordPress notification system never sent us notifications of new comments if Akismet had marked them as spam. Is there some way that BNFW could do the same thing? It’s quite annoying to get dozens of comment notifications, when 99% of them are being marked as spam.

    Hi brandon.w,
    Thanks for your message.

    There’s a checkbox in BNFW under Notifications > Settings which should provide support for Akismet.

    Can you tick this and let me know if you’re still having the problem? If so, it might be a bug that needs fixing.

    Thanks,
    Jack

    Jeez. Now two issues with your awesome plugin that both ended up being nothing more than my own stupidity! Thanks for having a built-in fix for this. I’ve ticked the box and tested a spam comment. No notification was delivered ??

    *Feeling like an idiot*

    Thank you!
