Spelling Checker plugin for WordPress

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR WORDPRESS 2.0 USERS

This plugin doesn’t play well in WordPress 2.0. I’m well aware of this. Some day I may update it but it is nowhere near the top of my priority list. Support questions for 2.0 installations will not make it out of moderation.

Latest version is 1.18, released 06/23/05.

I’ve been looking for a spelling checker plug-in for WordPress for a while. Didn’t find anything to my liking, so I figured I’d create one myself. The fruits of those labors are now here!

The Spelling Checker plugin for WordPress

With this plugin a new button appears alongside the rest to pop-up a spelling checker derived from the Speller Pages SourceForge project. No more typos!

This is a 1.18 release and it has been tested on WordPress 1.5.1.2. Please direct any questions or problems to me in this post.

I downloaded, edited, uploaded and reactivate the new .3 version. I’m now getting a JavaScript error relating to english.dat. That file does not exist on my host server, at least not where I’d expect it to be. There are other files that might be relevant, but I don’t know enough yet to determine that.

A very BIG thank you for your help yesterday, by the way.

Ron and ck:

Try out this version and see if it gets you through. Note the additional installation step of setting the aspell path. Let me know if this helps you, please.

I just installed the 0.2 version on WordPress 1.2, other than needing to install aspell, everything seems to work great, Thanks!

Excellent, thanks for letting us know!

System Error: Aspell program execution failed (‘aspell -a—lang=en_US &1’)

Just keeps getting weirder. What happens when you try to run aspell from your command line on your host?

and works only with WordPress 1.3 (which is also still in alpha)

Note that I have tested it on 1.2 now and it appears to function.

Spelling Checker plugin for WordPress

Someday I’ll be able to make posts without a single spelling error. I’ll be waiting for a Grammar Checker plugin…
