Yes, it is very confusing. One thing passed to bloginfo() is another thing passed to get_settings(). It's likely all there for backward compatibility for really old plugins. Maybe by 1.6 we can drop some of this 1.2 and pre-1.2 stuff. Plugins aren't that hard to update. P.S. This comment thread looks beautiful with all our giant colorful Gravatars!

echo get_settings(‘siteurl’);

Just to follow up, of course this works just dandy under both. The thing that was throwing me is that bloginfo(‘siteurl’) is an alias for ‘url’, not get_settings(). That’s not semantically confusing or anything . Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks Mark. I have a ticket open with my host on the aspell thing and it looks like I managed to grab the plug-in after ColdForged updated with with your fix. Hopefully I can get the spell-checker working soon.

Robert (Limeshurbet Robert), you can also try the “english” dictionary. Other than that, you’ll have to ask your host… aspell installs are hard to troubleshoot.

The URI problem is in the plugin file… in the two functions that insert the javascript code. I think there are 4 places to change it, altogether. But don’t worry about it. Your WP install isn’t in a /wordpress/ subdirectory like mine, so it doesn’t matter for you.

Any ideas as to why I am getting the error “No word lists can be found for the language ‘en’”.

I get the same problem when I change the dictionary back to the default en_US. Also, what file is that URL problem in?

Thanks for the assistance!

siteurl is an alias of url on 1.3 . It’s fairly hopeless.

Hm, didn't think about 1.2 How about doing

echo get_settings('siteurl');

That should work on all versions.

Thanks for the heads up on the error. There’s an updated version to correct it. Of course, nothing is ever quite as easy since ‘wpurl’ doesn’t exist under 1.2 which I’m still trying to support .

Glad you got it working.
