WordPress spell check plug-in

Dear all

We are using WordPress 4.0.1 and we'd like to spell check WP_Editor generated text areas.

Does anyone have a recommendation for the best plug-in to use?

BTW - we've found found several that work with standard WP text areas - but not ones generated using the WP_Editor function.

Cheers
Ed

Hi Edwin

Thanks for your reply. We have tried TinyMCE, however we are using the WP_Editor function in custom post types and although the spell check button is visible, when it is clicked nothing happens.

Any ideas why this is or an alternative plug-in we could try?

Thanks
Ed

After installing the plugin, for proof reading you have to click on the ABC Check button

Hi Edwin

That's what I mentioned in my previous post - the button works fine for the standard WordPress editor but not for text areas generated by WP_Editor function in custom post types. The button appears (like in your screen shot) but nothing happens when we click it.

Hi Jason - we had considered installing Jetpack but that installs a lot of other stuff that we don't really want / need.

BTW - we found that by enabling + hiding a standard WP text area as well as our function generated version - that the TinyMCE spell checker worked - so that's what we've gone with!

Jetpack does install a lot of stuff but you can now enable/disable each thing in it.
