Simply doesn’t work

  • Installed the plugin, navigated to the settings page to make sure all relevant post types were checked, and… nothing.

    I literally have NO idea what this plugin actually does, or how it is supposed to work.

    Post and page edit screen show absolutely nothing.

    Seems to me this is a bit of a half-baked and not very well coded plugin. No offense to the dev team, but really: if your basic version of the plugin doesn’t even work properly, it might be a good idea to leave the option of buying a premium version off the table – at least until such a time that you’ve fixed ALL relevant bugs. Not good for business selling something which is clearly broken – take some advice from a veteran plugin developer.

    I’ll just code my own, but for what it’s worth:

    WordPress 5.8.2, using Blogable theme, PHP v7.4 (ea-php74)

    Thanks.

    Hi @strusbobbin,

    Thank you for your review.

    Definitely, this is not the expected behavior for the plugin. And it looks like a support case or misunderstanding.

    So, when you go to a blog post or a page and open it for editing, do you have any text on the page? Does it have any spelling issues?

    I’ve just recorded a short video showing how the free version with enabled spelling and spelling autocorrect works on the post. Check the link here: https://monosnap.com/file/lBVhlQEsKFGa8kQuIInXRHkv8mOCrB

    By the way, you can the link below. It spins up a new TasteWP instance with the WProofreader spell & grammar check plugin already installed. You can play with the plugin without any commitment.

    Link to spin a TasteWP instance: https://tastewp.com/new?pre-installed-plugin-slug=webspellchecker&redirect=options-general.php%3Fpage%3Dspell-checker-settings&ni=true

    Could you please try to reinstall/reactivate the plugin, go to any post, open it for editing. Enter the following text as a text: “Hello wrold!”. The expected behavior, the word “wrold” will be underlined with red line. Then you need to hover on the word and select one of the suggestions for correction.

    If it still doesn’t work, since you are a developer, it should not be a problem for you to open the browser developer tools and check if there are any errors in the console and if there are any failed requests in the network. If any, please share it with us (you can send them via email or as links to screenshots here?
