Is there somehow a function for a user with role “Member” to delete theri own posts?

It only shows Edit or Quota for member role users.

I tried with Role Manager Plugin – theres an option to let Members delete posts.

The problem is that they can delete every post by everybody…

Help please

Yes you can, easily.

I have a mini-plugin for this somewhere around here…

Here you go:
```
<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Delete Own Post

*/

function delete_own_post($retvalue,$capability,$args) {return ($capability=='delete_post') ? bb_current_user_can('edit_post',$args[1]) : $retvalue;}

add_filter('bb_current_user_can','delete_own_post',10,3);

?>
```
Note that they can only delete for as long as they can edit.

Meaning after the 1 hour default, no more delete.

But you can change the timeout in the admin settings.

So just make a php file with that inside name it for example delete post and upload it to my plugins, right?
