Akismet 2.1.2 with Comment Type Filters

Filed in: WordPress Plugins — December 18th, 2007

Akismet 2.1.2 anti-spam comment plugin has been released. The new version added comment type filters to separate comments and Pingbacks.

Akismet 2.1.2 with Comment Type Filters

With the sub-navigation, you can choose to see only comments, pingbacks, or all. For developers, it has a new hook for other plugins to add more tabs to the sub-navigation.

So far, there is no plugin that “hooks” with Akismet 2.1. We can expect some other antispam plugins using the feature.

Generally, no new function in the new version, Akismet still works good to filter out spam comments from your blogs. Yes, it is still free.

    Liew, you mention that the new version can differentiate between pingback and comments. So, can we separate them in our article? Because i saw some blogs can separate between pingback/trackback and comments, but i can’t sound any template/tutorial about this……

    @dicky: that’s different thing. to separate comments and trackbacks at permalink page, you need to edit the theme file. You can refer to the tutorial at HERE

    Hi Liew, thanks for the guide. I had been searching this for a long time. I may try to implement this feature on my next theme. Thanks!
