 After updating to Wordpress 4.6 Akismet no longer works. It shows "Akismet
 can’t connect to your site.Your firewall may be blocking Akismet."

 I have several Wordpress sites and only the ones I have just updated to
 4.6 have this issue. The sites I have not updated have Akismet working
 fine so it seems very strong evidence that something in the 4.6 update is
 causing this issue.
