Howdy,

It looks like the Live Comment Preview causes unexpected API calls to Akismet – a separate API call each time the preview updates (i.e. almost every keystroke).

I assume this happens because the preview plugin calls the pre_post filter, which in turn triggers bb_ksd_check_post().

I imagine there may be other plugins that cause a similar problem. Would like to help fix it but I have only a superficial understanding of the bbPress code. Suggestions for the Right Way to do it?

From my understanding, it calls pre_post, so it can display the html part in the preview. At least that’s how I see it.

Cause with jQuery, you could just make everything you type appear in the preview div, but that wouln’t change <img src=”link”> to an image.

Well, yes, that’s true. But pre_post_filter triggers an API call to Akismet.

I don’t know which plugin is doing the wrong thing here, but either Akismet or Live Comment Preview needs to use a different filter.

Any devs care to weigh in? Should akismet use bb_new_post/bb_update_post instead? (It certainly wouldn’t be the only issue with the Akismet plugin).

The simple solution to this is to use a Live Comment Preview plugin that doesn’t make any callbacks.

But if you do, can it show all the parsed html?

Live Comment Preview, will let me see all the html tags I’ve used.

Yeah, just find one that parses the HTML.
