It makes no difference. I upgraded to 2.8.1, had one show for a few minutes, and now have had none all day.

Even my Technorati Incoming Links plugin is showing nothing now, though going to Technorati, I see plenty of links.

The lameitude is overwhelming!

This error no longer occurs with WordPress 2.5. I’ve switched back to Akismet from Defensio. Akismet is a better blocker of trackback spam for sure, as I’ve gone from hundreds of such per day to a handful. Nice!

I recommend the solution suggested by atrais, as it seems “the powers that be” are uninterested in a solution. Sign up for and install Defensio. Enable it, then disable and uninstall Akismet, and then the upgrades work just fine.

Though I didn’t have any problems with Akismet, and didn’t want to, in effect, penalize them by dropping Akismet, I do like Defensio better. It’s presentation of spam and potential spam messages is more compact (that is, in smaller font) so you can more easily speed through checking a whole list of them.

At this point, it’s more important to keep up with new WordPress releases, for the security issues if nothing else.

What I ended up doing was, unfortunately, giving up on Akismet. I loaded Defensio, and then the upgrades work fine. I suggest doing that.

Whoever’s monitoring these forum posts, this is NOT an alpha/beta issue, and does not belong in this forum.

I’ve had it occur in upgrading from 2.2.3 to 2.3 and 2.3.1 and I am now avoiding 2.3.2 like the plague.

I, and the others with whom this is happening, would simply appreciate some help, and would prefer a solution to being bounced around because we didn’t enter our problem in the right ticket database!

I got this lame response. I’m thinking TypePad is looking pretty good right about now:

This belongs either in the forums or on the WP plugins bug tracker.

What version of Akismet are you running? If you’re running a version lower than 2.1.2, you should download the latest version now.

Sorry, that should read “…2.2.1 to 2.3….”

I just downgraded back to 2.2.1 and the problem is solved. Barring a solution, I’ll be avoiding 2.3 for the foreseeable future.

Last night, upgrading from WP 2.2.3 to 2.3, I suddenly started getting this error after clicking the “Delete all” button.
