Grammarly Browser Extension Issues - Now Automatically Disabled - 3rd June

Thanks for letting us know. I can confirm that I’ve been dealing with this issue off and on as well. 

I also had an issue with adding featured images to articles while using Grammarly. As soon as I turned off the extension, this functionality went back to normal. 

Any update on ETA? We’ve notified our community members to disable Grammarly for now but would like to communicate to them as soon as there’s an update

Thanks Adam, we have not received an ETA yet from Grammarly.

We have a contingency plan to add an attribute to the text editor so Grammarly will not initialise in it and we will of course keep you updated on when this has been added. This will mean that users won’t need to worry about turning Grammarly off. Hopefully Grammarly resolve the issue before we have to implement this.

Frustratingly, community members will need to disable Grammarly themselves for now (and watch out for their spelling and punctuation!).

Thanks for your patience with this and I’ll let you know as soon as there is any progress.

Understood. Thank you for the update, Oliver! Until then it’ll be like the Wild West in my posts 🤠

@olimarrio 👋  just checking in… Still working on a fix, I presume?

Hi Adam  we have the fix I mentioned above in progress so I expect to be able to update you on that imminently. This will disable Grammarly automatically for users. We will then remove this attribute once Grammarly are able to fix on their end. I’ll keep you posted as soon as our fix is implemented! 

Thank you!

Good news - we have deployed this mitigating fix!

The Grammarly extension is now automatically disabled for users whilst they are using the platform. This means they won’t have to manually turn this on and off when switching between the platform and elsewhere on their web browser.

We will of course stay in contact with Grammarly and keep you all updated on when the issue can be resolved on their end. 

We will then remove the attribute on our side so that community members can use Grammarly if they wish.

For now, watch out for those punctuation marks and keep an eye out for the grammar police 

Thank you @olimarrio!

Thank you it was driving me crazy when trying to edit posts.
