When you visit your Akismet Dashboard, you』ll notice that we show a list of active sites for your account. This list shows sites that have been active in the last 14 days, so if you recently deactivated Akismet on a site, it may continue to show in the list.  

Deleting a site from your account

If you want to delete a site from your account, you would click the red X next to the URL (pictured left).

NOTE: You would also need to delete Akismet from the site, otherwise the next time the site makes an API call, it will show back on the list.

Revoking a site from your account

If you want to delete and revoke access for a site which will prevent it from using Akismet, you would need to click the 「no symbol」 (pictured right) to remove the site from your account and prevent it from using your API key in the future.

NOTE: If you revoke a site from your account, you won』t be able to re-add that site back onto your account at a later date. If you revoked a site in error, get in touch and we』ll be happy to help restore it back to your account.

Viewing stats per site

Are you curious about stats pertaining to a specific site? Click the graph icon (pictured left) next to the URL in question to view stats for that specific site.

Once on that page, you can change the view to show different date ranges (60 day, six months, one year, and all-time) and also view the advanced stats data for your site.

I don』t see my site in the Active Sites list!

If you have a site that doesn』t make many API calls, once the site hits 15 days of inactivity it will be removed from the Active Sites list. It doesn』t remove the Akismet coverage from your site – it just stops displaying in your Recently Active Sites list.

Akismet uses WordPress.com user accounts for account management. If you forget your WordPress.com password you can reset it by following the instructions in this guide.

You need to first visit this page: https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

Next, put in the email address or username of the account you need to reset the password and press the 「Get New Password」 button.

You will then be taken to this screen. You can ignore the login form as you haven』t reset your password yet so you cannot login.

Next, go check your email for an email from [email protected] titled 「[WordPress.com] Password Reset」. Inside that email is a message from us confirming that you want to reset your password. To confirm this change, click the 「Reset password」 button.

After clicking that button, a new window will open up that will allow you to reset your password. Just type in your new password, wait for the form to verify that you can save this password, and press the 「Reset Password」 button to confirm the change.

It』s a good idea to use the built in 「Generate strong password」 button to make sure you』re using a good password for your account. Make sure you copy your new password into a safe place once you』ve reset it.

Check your email for the address specified, and within a few minutes, you』ll see an email similar to this one:

Enter the code from your email into the box shown, and click Continue. Your account will be verified.

I didn』t get the email

First, check that the email address shown on the 「Check your Email」 screen is the correct email address, and you didn』t make a typo.

If it looks good, check your spam folder in case the email was filtered as spam.

If you still can』t find the email, please contact support and we』ll help you verify your account.
