where to enter my Akismit API key on my site
-
I am new to WP and I was told by a friend to get a AKismit API key which I have done. The email said to go to my admin dashboard plugins and find the akismit plugin. Then to enter the key and save. I can not find the option on my site. Can you please point me in the right direction. Thank you

Since your site is hosted on WordPress.com, we automatically enabled Akismet for you. You don’t need to enter your API key to activate Akismet :)

TY for your quick response. My issue is I want to use an IOS (iPhone) app to monitor my statistics. I do this currently for a friends site and in order to do this I have to enter the api key for the site. When My friend began her site the api key was in the welcome email. Now the admin page says go to Akismet to get a key. Once obtained there is no where to enter it. Hope you can help.
Thanks for your assistance

Howdy,
If your friend is using a self-hosted WordPress.org site, then you might ask them to install Jetpack — which doesn’t require an API key.
