About this plugin
Typo Reporter – Spelling & Proofreading is a lightweight proofreading tool for WordPress. A reader spots a typo, selects the incorrect text, and submits a correction in a simple modal. You get the report; your content gets better.
No external service. No complicated workflow. Just a fast way to turn readers into helpful contributors.
Core Features
🎯 Simple typo reporting
Visitors can click the “Report a typo” link below a post or select text and use Ctrl+Enter ( Cmd+Enter on Mac) to open the reporting form.
📝 A focused review workflow
All reports are collected in the WordPress admin area, with the incorrect text, suggested correction, post, URL, and date available at a glance.
🛡️ Built-in abuse protection
Rate limiting and duplicate detection help keep the report queue useful without adding another anti-spam service. Reports provide an in-modal submitting state and success/error feedback without browser dialogs.
⚡ Lightweight on the front end
Typo Reporter – Spelling & Proofreading loads its assets only on single posts and pages. Report submissions use AJAX, so the plugin works well with page caching.
🎨 Easy to customize
The interface uses regular HTML and predictable typohunter-* CSS classes, making it straightforward to adapt to your theme.
🔒 Privacy-conscious by design
IP addresses are hashed for rate limiting and are not stored with reports. Inputs are sanitized, validated, and protected with WordPress nonces.
