Recovering a comment marked as spam in Wordpress
July 21st, 2008This guide is for self-hosted Wordpress users and refers to Wordpress version 2.6.
The current version of Wordpress does not provide a mechanism for retrieving comments accidentally marked as spam. This can be circumvented with the Akismet plugin.
Akismet is a Wordpress plugin that evaluates and deals with regular spam comments as well as trackback spam.
