In this article, we will show you how to stop comment spam in WordPress using Akismet. Akismet is a powerful plugin that is bundled with all WordPress installations and is extremely effective in stopping spam comments on your WordPress site. Once you have completed this article, you will be able to prevent comment spam with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enabling Akismet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>First, you will need to <a href=\"\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/logging-into-wordpress-dashboard\/\">log into your WordPress admin dashboard<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once logged into your WordPress site, click on <strong>Plugins<\/strong>. From the <em>Plugins<\/em> page, you will see an entry for <em>Akismet<\/em>.

After activation, you will see a new button at the top of the <em>Plugins<\/em> that says <strong>Activate your Akismet account<\/strong>. Click on this button to begin configuration of your Akismet API key.<br><br><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/wordpress-plugins_preventing-comment-spam-2.png\" alt=\"stopping WordPress comment spam API key page\"><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you do not already have an Akismet API key, you will need to generate one. To do so, click on the button that says <strong>Create a new Akismet Key<\/strong>.<br><br><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/wordpress-plugins_preventing-comment-spam-3.png\" alt=\"stopping WordPress comment spam API key page\"><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As you have clicked on the button within your WordPress dashboard, you will be taken to the Akismet website with a big blue button that says <strong>Get an Akismet API key<\/strong>.

If you already have an account, you may click the link that says <strong>I already have a WordPress.com account!<\/strong>, then log in. If you do not yet have a WordPress.com account, you may fill out the appropriate fields within the page to create one.<br><br><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/wordpress-plugins_preventing-comment-spam-5.png\" alt=\"stopping WordPress comment spam Akismet website wordpress.com login\"><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now that you are logged in, you will see a few different options here with the details for them also described. In this case, I am using Akismet on a personal blog, so I will choose the option for a personal account. Of course, if you are adding Akismet to a commercial website, you would want to choose another option within this page depending on your needs. To choose your plan, click the <strong>Sign Up<\/strong> button below the plan you would like to go with.<br><br><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/wordpress-plugins_preventing-comment-spam-6.png\" alt=\"stopping WordPress comment spam Akismet plan page\"><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As you have just selected your plan, you will be taken to the payment options page. If you selected the personal option, you have the option to select any yearly contribution that you want to via the slider on the right side. Of course, you can choose to not pay anything at all, but it\u2019s always a good idea to contribute something to help the further development of Akismet. Once you have your information as you want it, click on the blue <strong>Continue<\/strong> button.<br><br><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/wordpress-plugins_preventing-comment-spam-7.png\" alt=\"stopping WordPress comment spam Akismet payment page\"><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On this final page within the Akismet website, you will see your Akismet API key.
