I tried the above plugin and nothing.I activated it and saw no button or anyway to actually check your spelling.Most of these plugins are either poorly designed or poorly explained.

Hi Chris,

The spell checker works fine in Firefox. The issue is that the QuickTags will no longer work once it is installed. Look for an update in the next week or so to correct this problem…

Regards,
Matthew

Matthew: That looks like a nice plugin. I was going to give it a try but then it sounded like it didn’t work with FireFox?

I have created a new AJAX Spell Checker Plugin that works in WordPress 2.0. You can check it out here:

[...] So there you have it. I had to report back because on numerous occasions I had touched on this topic here at BrainFuel. [...]

Paddler — you shouldn’t give up hope. I haven’t. There is a guy named Raj that is working on a plugin that rocks the house. It’s called EditorMonkey and it is already up to version 2.0 (in a short period of time).

A new release 2.1 is available soon. I’m waiting on it.

I have tried most of them out there and most do not work right with WP 2.0. The old version, .4, of live spell check sees the mispelling but does not correct it in the editing page. It at least gives a list of words to choose from so you can see how a word should be spelled. The new version, .6, does not work at all and tells me I have no mispelled words, when I know I do.
I am troubled that there is no spell checker for a writing software.
I am now looking into a plugin for the WYSIWYG editor, tinymce.

I could not agree more. I can’t spell. I’ve been searching for a good spell checker, but just can’t find one. All those that I’ve tried don’t work. I haven’t tried the Ajax spell checker, but that one’s next.
