Simple, but it worked! Selected default link structure and all’s well.

Many thanks!

Hmmm. There’s no file named permalinks

Having the same problem at https://radiofreewallstreet.fm since upgrading to 3.0. Cannot find a working rss link. Tried the 2 suggestions above. Neither worked.

I’d just like to add that Akismet successfully blocks hundreds of instances of comment spam on our blogs EVERY WEEK! To that extent, it does a great job.

I’m not sure, but I think they un-blacklisted me. I finally left a couple phone messages with Matt begging for help. It seems that worked, although I never heard back from him directly. At least I can post comments on my own stable of blogs now.

Anyway, if you did take care of it, thanks Matt.

By the way, I have de spammed my own comments hundreds, perhaps thousands of times. It is even picking up snippets from my posts and tagging them as spam.

I wonder if I am the only one out there having this problem of false positives by Akismet on the own posts.

It’s really an impossible situation. I can get around the problem on my own blogs obviously, even though it is annoying and frustrating.

But what is devastating is that neither I nor any of my colleagues can comment on any other wordpress blog in the world. I have no problem commenting on other systems, just wordpress.

It’s very frustrating.

I have tried that. Also tried contacting them through the contact form on Automattic.com. Also tried calling.

No luck. They are too busy I guess. If any of you knows them could you please let them know about this issue. Thank you.

Having the same problem.

Could it have something to do with the theme?

I’m using veryplaintext2.0.

Any link to a comment form another post defaults to the relative url of the comment number only, thereby rendering the link dead.

When I manually entered the link in the wysiwyg editor, then resaved the post, the entire post disappeared! There appears to be no way to work around this problem.

Great, thanks. I’ll give it a try.

There was a problem in the single post template.

Fixed.

I think I will rebuild the sidebar from scratch.

As for your suggestions of several plugins that will do it, so far, after browsing the plugin lists, I have not been able to find one. If anyone else out there can help with this, thanks in advance.

I have been trying for several weeks to get an answer, but the support threads seem to disappear into a black hole after the first 15 minutes and no one sees them.

That’s why I re-framed and reposted the question. Hopefully, it won’t be necessary to do again.

Thanks!

Spam can be controlled between Akismet and limiting the number of links per post. These tools have worked well so far.

It works that way here.
