Problems with the new editing screen.

    Problems with the new editing screen.
    1. The spellchecker button is missing.
    2. When I want to preview the post it only shows me the redacted version that goes up on my homepage. How can I see the full post?
    Best, Susan

    Hi Susan,

    Could you take a look at your latest published post by clicking on the following link:
    https://insatiabletravelerdotcom1.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=13713&action=edit

    There, you will find the spell check button above the text edit box.

    Click the Preview Changes button, and let me know if you’re able to see the entire post now.

    Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much.

    Hi- Yes I can but I am speaking about the “new posting experience” window.

    Hi there, Susan,

    Currently, the spell check feature is not installed on the new editor. While the developers are working to enhance the new editor, I suggest using spell check in the classic editor. Or, if you’d prefer, you can install a spell check extension right into your browser. I see you’re using Firefox, so you might like this one:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ginger-grammar-and-spell-ch/

    While there has been a previous user request to add back the spell check function, I can’t give you a time frame, or assurance that it’ll definitely return. I will keep an eye on the issue for you, however.

    Regarding the Preview problem — could you send me a screenshot, so I can see exactly what you’re viewing? You can simply upload the screenshot to your Media Library, like any other image, and I’ll be able to access it from there. Just let me know when there’s something I should take a look at.

    The page at the following link has some helpful tips for taking screenshots:

    Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you.
