How can I review Akismet-blocked Spam before it's blocked.

    My Akismet widget says I have 11 spam blocked, but none of them have ever shown up in my spam queue. How can I preview those comments first to make certain non-spam is not being blocked in error?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi!

    The comments that Akismet thinks are spam are automatically filtered into your Spam queue here:

    https://bykimberlylynne.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?comment_status=spam

    It looks like that queue is empty at the moment. Did you recently empty it? Akismet automatically removes messages from the spam queue every 14 days so it’s possible that it’s permanently removed the spam comments.

    Your current discussion settings are set so that all spam should be sent to the spam queue (instead of the worst being automatically discarded). So, if you want to double-check Akismet’s work, you can do that in the Spam folder linked above.
