I’m looking to limit the “Edited by xxxx” to the last edit at the end of every post. I remember looking through the forum on the topic, and I found it suggested to another user to use WordPress’ own the_author and the_modified_time. This should work great, however, how do I include the revision notes from the last edit? In other words the reason a user adds for editing their post.

Are you just using the_author and the_modified_time to just display 1 revision log. You can use the default revision logs and then use a function or some CSS to display 1 revision log instead.

PHP functiion, place in your child themes functions.php file or in a functionality plugin.

// Only return one entry for revision log otherwise it gets cluttered
function bbp_trim_revision_log( $r='' ) {
 $arr = array( end( $r ));
 reset( $r );
 
 return( $arr );
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_revisions', 'bbp_trim_revision_log', 20, 1 );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_revisions', 'bbp_trim_revision_log', 20, 1 );

CSS snippet, place in your child themes style css or in anywhere else you can place custom css snippets like a custom css plugin.

.bbp-topic-revision-log li {
	display:none;
}
.bbp-topic-revision-log li:last-child {
	display:block;
}
