Spelling Checker plugin for WordPressSpelling 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.

Digg!

    Not sure if anyone else noticed it, but there are certain special characters that break the spell checker. Specifically, if people c/p from a text processing program (which actually happens quite often) there’s a specific kind of apostrophe that’ll break the check and cause an “object expected” error.

    I realize that this may (or may not) be a problem with aspell, but maybe it would be possible for the plugin to replace those characters before passing them on to aspell?

    All you really need is a web browser, that can use aspell etc to do spelling checks in webpages “text box” while you type.
    Like Konqueror for example….

    For some reason I can’t get the spell check button to show up for comments. In fact instead of the button, I see: ::HLIGHTBLOCK1::

    I am trying to do this in WP2, but I don’t think that’s the problem. Any idea what is?

    I have created a new AJAX Spell Checker. See a demo and download the plugin for WordPress 2.0 here:

    This plug-in is working just fine in my install of WordPress 2.0. I had to turn off the WYSIWYG editor, but it does not work with these in WordPress 1.5 either.

    Thanks for the great plug-in. I would eventually love the see it modified so it will work with WYSIWYG editors.

    Lee said: Chris, it was already lang=en

    According to the error you provided, it’s set to en_US:

    "Error executing /usr/bin/aspell -a --lang=en_US ..."

    As Chris said, try en or english.
