    I tried disabling all plug-ins and switching to 2011 theme. I also re-installed WordPress.

    When I tried to activate spellcheck in the WYSIWYG editor, I get the following error message:

    Error response: <br />

    Not that important, but I wanted to mention/ document.

  • I cannot replicate this using Twenty Eleven, WP 3.4.2 and Firefox 15.0.1

    Aha! It seems to be a problem with the WAMP installation on my local computer that I use for development. The problem does not appear with the online production version of the website.

    The problem was with my WAMP configuration. The tinyMCE edit program goes to Google for its spell-checking function. Here’s how it was solved, thanks to advice. I’m posting this in case anyone has a similar problem.

    In your php.ini file, look for the following section:
    ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
    ; Dynamic Extensions ;
    ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
    Under this section there should be a list of extensions that look like extension=something.dll. Look for the following extension:
    ;extension=php_curl.dll

    If it has a semi-colon (;) before it (as above), then remove it so it looks like this:
    extension=php_curl.dll

    Then save the file and restart Apache.
    Hopefully that should solve the problem.
