  • DId not work with Elementor or latest WordPress

    there is no documentation on how to make this work I finally found out you need to edit a page with WordPress Then there is an Analyze button I got message "Generic Error" So it did not work on a page made with WordPress editor, another page with Gutenberg, and another made with Elementor So I uninstalled it. WordPress 6.7.1 Elementor Pro 3.27.3

  • Not compatible with gutenberg

    Wordpress evolved but the plugin didn't. Is unbelievable that a wordpress plugin won't support gutenberg in 2023

  • A very useful tool

    The plugin is very useful. After errors in operation, a contact with author it was fastly and solved my doubts, following the spirit of FOSS. Long life to Proofreading!

  • No Gutenburg

    Please No Gutenburg in the new update, at least do it for me. I can't post anything, I can't repair anything. I don't even know how to keep going on. Please make it stop. I can't even know how to post on my own website. The issue is I don't know how to use Gutenburg and it's not user understandable.

  • No Gutenberg support

    Won't analyze content in Gutenberg, pretty much worthless until updated.

  • Simple but efficient

    Few options but very well developed. A must have in the Wordpress plugin worlds.
