DId not work with Elementor or latest WordPress
by webstpro·1 year ago
- 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
by rocktambulos·2 years ago·1 reply
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
by dyi·6 years ago
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
by sumoboy·6 years ago
Won’t analyze content in Gutenberg, pretty much worthless until updated.
