Akismet API key

    Since I’ve moved to China, I haven’t been able to get http://WordPress.com/profile to come up. It always times out so now I can’t get access to my Akismet key.

    I don’t know what the problem is. It’s been consistently timing out for a month now.

    I have an older installation of WordPress that has the key. Anyone know what file I can find the key in? Or perhaps it’s in the DB?

    Registering for a new WordPress account times out as well. I’m kind of stuck here. I think I need to find the key in my old installation. My old installation is the blog which I migrated to the new installation. Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out how to get the UI up to look at the akismet settings.

    Right now, I think the easiest thing is to retrieve the key from it’s storage location. But where is it stored at? MySql?

    Try looking in the wp_options table of your old database.

    I am in China and I’m having the same problem, except I’m new to WordPress so I don’t have an “old installation” to speak of. I suspect this problem is due to the Great Firewall of China.

    Does anyone know how else to get the API Key?

    For now I’m gonna have to remote desktop into a computer in US via VPN…
