I am doing comment on others wordpress blogs and blogger install the Akismet Plugin. My comment is relevant to the post but when I submit the comment the blank white page comes in next and my comment don’t submitted and plugin shows that your comments is seems like to be a spam comment. How can I prevent from this situation.
Yeah I thought this blank page thing is a php error…Usually when I click on “post comment” I get sent to a blank wp-comments-post.php page.
