I want my users to be able to edit their posts for ever. How do I do that? As of now I have put a big number in the “Disallow editing after ” in “Settings -> Forums”, but that will run out one day.

You can edit the following to your functions.php (for example)

<code>

function no_edit_lock($retval, $cur_time, $lock_time, $post_date_gmt){

return false;

}

add_filter( ‘bbp_past_edit_lock’, ‘no_edit_lock’, 1, 4);

</code>

This will overwrite the default edit_lock behavior.

Thanks, I will try that!

Well it did not work right out of the box. What does “1, 4” do at the end of this line?

add_filter( ‘bbp_past_edit_lock’, ‘no_edit_lock’, 1, 4);

oh wait, might have got it working. I replaced ‘ with ‘:

function no_edit_lock($retval, $cur_time, $lock_time, $post_date_gmt){
return false;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_past_edit_lock’, ‘no_edit_lock’, 1, 4);
