  Hi all,

  I don’t know if this is an Akismet issue or a WP issue (or even a host issue; my blog is not on wordpress.com); I’ve contacted the Akismet people with the problem as well.

  When I use the “Plugin Editor” page of my Admin panel to try to edit akismet.php (this happens whether or not Akismet is currently enabled), I get a 503 error when I click “Update File,” and the file doesn’t get changed. It’s not a truly general problem, because I can edit other plugins just fine. It’s also not a glitch–I’ve tried this multiple times, over a couple of weeks now, always with the same result.

  This isn’t like the 503 errors involving Akismet that I’ve been able to find posts about–this isn’t a 503 error produced on one of my public blog pages; it actually happens in the Admin panel itself.

  Thoughts?

  Thanks much,
  Avrom

  Afraid we won’t be able to help you here at all, since we don’t have access to plugins or php on our blogs. You need to be over at WordPress.org, where they can help you:
