I’ve installed the Akismet plugin but it’s not on the Hamburger Menu. A screen capture of the settings is attached and I think they are fine. Could the Akismet key be the problem and is there some way to test if it’s valid for my site? [Inkedchrome_2019-10-17_06-57-06_LI]

Also note that Jobs::CheckForSpamPosts is running. However, I don’t know if that’s only a Akismet job.

Hey @tisawyer :wave: The Akismet queue was merged with the new review queue. You can view the queue from the Review link inside the hamburger menu: [35]

You can see if it’s working by looking at your Akismet stats.

I don’t have any WordPress sites but I did find a link to “account-wide spam stats”. So far all counts are zero… we don’t get much spam.
