Spell check says Error Response: ……..

is that an error that you are seeing after having just installed the plugin? Thats one one 2 or 3 things.

1. fsockopen is disabled by your host. It often is.

2. There’s an issue with the url.

Thanks, I’ll check that out, then get back and mark this as resolved if thats the case

Thanks Again

Does this make since and is this normal for a provider?

You have 2 options: either use Firefox or Safari that have build-in spell checker, or provide the info so your host opens the firewall for you. All the info you need is in the error message above.

i have a problem with the spellchecker and getting this error message:

Thanks for your help. We got the same problem with the spellchecker in our german wordpress version.
