Spellchecker non functional?

  • I’m on version 2.1 of course, and had absolutely no issues getting it updates from my previous. However, one of the new features (duh) is an integrated spellchecker.

    However, when I test it, by knowingly spelling something incorrectly, it tells me there are no mis-spellings.

    Do I need to have either a plugin installed, or something resident on my hosts server for this to function properly?

    I looked in the release notes, but may have overlooked if it says so.

    Any insight or advice is greatly appreciated!

  • I’m getting the same AJAX error.
    I’ve got multiple wordpress blogs on the same surver.
    Only one is having the problem.
    It’s having the problem even after all plugins have been disabled.

    It reads:
    Could on not execute AJAX call, server didn’t return valid a XML.
    Response:
    Fatal Error: Call to undefined function mb_substr() in {…}tinymce/plugins/spellchecker/classes/TinyGoogleSpell.class.php on line 23

    I am running 2.3.1 and I saw the same error – I fixed it by modifying the config.php in
    /wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/spellchecker

    as follows:

    Removing the // comments from this line
    require_once(“classes/TinyPspellShell.class.php”);

    and adding comments to this line
    // require_once(“classes/TinyGoogleSpell.class.php”);

    That just returns “No misspellings found” when there are words that are purposely misspelled.

    I never could get the built-in spell-check to work. I’ve been using a plugin — GoSPress, available here: https://www.michael-gerard.com/creations/goospress. It works great whether you use the visual editor or not, and has the added advantage of letting commenters check their spelling — in several languages.
