I have the problem that the user on my website can't edit or delete his posting by himself. I already tried to fix this by changing any option inside the configuration - but nothing functions. Deactivation of the Spam-Control doesn't solve it. I deacitvated all plugins but the problem still exists. Her in the forum I found postings by other people with the same problem but I couldn't find anything to solve the problem. Can you please help me?
Hi Auramin,
Please check the flowing:
1. If a topic or post is unapproved (Awaiting for moderation), they can't edit/delete. It seems your users don't see the message and don't see the [Unapproved] prefix in topic title. First please make sure they are trying to edit/delete an approved topic/post.
2. I suppose the users Usergroup is Registered and they have Standard Access in forum settings. You should navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Forum Accesses admin page, edit the Standard Access and make sure these permissions are enabled:
- Can edit own topic
- Can delete own topic
- Can edit own reply
- Can delete own reply
Then edit forums and make sure you attached Registered Usergroup to Standard Forum Access in the right "Forum Permissions" admin-box.
3. You should know that the time is limited for Editing or Deleting posts. make sure they don't pass the time limit. All time limits can be managed in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Topics & Posts admin page:
Hi Robert, thanks for the quick answer. I already tried all these things - but it don't function. I changed the limiting-time, attached various Usergroups and even created own usergroups. Can't find the mistake! Any idea?

Then your forum is crashed or you have JS errors. please leave the forum URL.
Hi Robert, thanks for your offer - meanwhile I solved the problem. My theme makes the mistake, another wellknown plugin for chatting had similar problems. Wie the User-Role-Editor I changed the roles and in wpForo i use now a own usergroup (dedicated to the new role) an so all ist running as it should do.
