I just got an email from a user who cannot edit his post. Looking at my settings, I found I had “Disallow editing after” set to 5 minutes. Underneath, it reads:
When this is checked, the setting to “0 minutes” makes it possible to always edit.

So, I entered 0 and hit Save. When I check the setting, it says 5 again. I tried several times, always with the same result (duh!). Any ideas how to fix this?

For now, I have entered a string of 999999999999, but that’s not very elegant, is it now?

I’m on the latest version of both WP and bbPress, using Twenty Sixteen as my theme.

99999999etc. is the answer – works unless your users are immortal 🙂

Thanks Robin! Bit strange though to write that 0 minutes would be the solution, but it’s not accepted…

sorry, I’m not a bbpress author, I just hep out here !! 🙂

I wasn’t criticising you Robin, sorry if you thought so…

didn’t take it that way 🙂 was trying (badly) to say that not in my power to change 🙂
