Are you using the Optimize Press theme? If so, you could either downgrade to Akismet 3.1.7 or wait for their fix, which is supposed to be coming this week.
Hi Christopher,
yes exactly! Is it save to wait for the update? Does Akismet work with the issue?
many thanks for the quick feedback.
Greetings,

Akismet will still work, but your site may be slower for some users.
Huge thanks for your help!
Hey there — I’m experiencing the same issue (although I use the OptimizePress plugin, not the theme).
Quick question: are we waiting on an update for OptimizePress or Akismet?
Also: If downgrading Akismet, do we simply use v. 3.1.7 from the repository, or is there a special procedure for downgrading?
Thanks!
