Google Toolbar Spell Check Problems In WordPress
Filed Under Basic Blogging, WordPress SEO | 3 Comments
If you are like me, you prefer the Google Toolbar Spell Check over the WordPress Spelling Checker. Lately I have found some problems involving Google’s Spell Check and WordPress in visual mode. After I ran a spell check, all the words that were incorrect or that were names that weren’t in the dictionary appeared red with an underline. The problem is that it kept the red lines and underlines immediately after WordPress auto-saved. After I turned the Spell Check off, it made matters worse by adding the misspelled word again.
This was a major pain in the butt. I had to go into HTML view to remove the bad code. Fortunately I found the answer. Below is a graphic that shows how to access all writing tools so you can remove the formatting which will get rid of the red and green lines in WordPress:

This will work for those of you that have had this problem, but in the future I suggest that you write your article in Text Pad and paste it in when you are done. My wife wrote an article on Content Writing Made Easy Using A Text Documentthat shows how we prepare content. You can also use the WordPress spell check or better yet FireFox. You can add dictionaries to FireFox and add words that it thinks are misspelled by clicking “add to dictionary” when you right click on a misspelled word.
