can you say how this is bbpress related?
I am using a bbpress forum for users to interact with the site.
How can you define ‘their OWN post’ if you cannot identify them ? They need to authenticate themselves one way or another before you can talk about ‘own’ posts.
Otherwise any visitor of your site could just delete anything and believe me, some people would do it !

It is not indexed by google, it is more of a members only type site. We wouldn’t care if someone could delete them all. We just want to give the users ability to delete posts, without being logged in.
Just to be clear, you talk about ‘posts’ on the blog or ‘topics/replies’ on your bbPress that should be deleted ?
Yes sorry, Topics not Posts. I need for users to be able to delete Topics they create without being logged in. They can delete others Topics as well if that’s the way it would need to work. Just need users to be able to delete their own topics while not being logged in. Thanks.
Interesting … Give me some days and let me think of that …
Deleting own or others posts is the same is this case as the user is not logged in.

Probably something with this function so adding [Delete] or a button after every topic title
// define the bbp_template_after_topic_tag_edit callback
function casiepa_bbp_template_after_topic_tag_edit( ) {
echo ' <a href="">[Delete]</a>';
};
// add the action
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_title', 'casiepa_bbp_template_after_topic_tag_edit', 10, 0 );
Or maybe better only when they open the topic itself ?
But as said I’ll have another look in the next days.

Thank you. That looks right. I build wordpress sites from themes, not custom, so I hope you find something that will work and be easy or detailed enough for me to implement.
I appreciate all the help!
