hmmm i thought you could be able to disable it with 0 , but i really havent tried that yet.
you could hide the link with css and also php i guess so the time wouldnt even matter since there isnt a link to edit at all.
heres with css
a.bbp-reply-edit-link {
display:none;
}
for topics just change reply to topic
I just tested this and it works fine, as it states: “Disallow editing after ‘x’ minutes”, that does not infer setting to 0 will disable topic/reply editing 😉
Thus, if you set it to 1 editing will be disabled after 1 minute, the default is 5 minutes.
If this is not working for you check your time and date settings, someone else had this issue a while back and as they had the incorrect time zone configured it was adding the time zone difference to the allowed editable time 🙂
sorry to post this here but my i cannot create topics or anything on the site..
i have been messing with this all day and getting quite aggrevated
my members cannot edit they’re topics or replies or forums if i allowed it which i dont
And they cannot create a topic from the Dashboard menu bar at the top
so the topics they are allowed to use looks totally horrible and does not have all my wordpress options, well i think it uses the normal wordpress replies maybe i would need to change that?
If they could Edit they could use the proper Tools after but..
Unless i set Edit_others_posts there is absolutely nothing i can do to allow them to edit
it always says you do not have the proper rights
and of course i DO NOT want them to be allowed to edit other peoples posts…
How could i make it so that they can edit they’re own posts only
and that they could post a Topic Directly from the Dashboard bar at the top of page to be able to have the proper tools instead of using post topic like a reply
I did reset all users to default Role since i saw it mentioned often and it didnt help
Only if id set it to moderator they could edit theyre own posts
but they can delete everything from everyone
i am using latest WordPress and latest bbpress with twenty fourteen theme and i have no plugins that would conflict
i am still trying to find answer to this problem !!
Unless i add the role edit_others_post my users cannot edit they’re own posts using the Advanced posting option of wordpress
And well i cannot trust all those people to not touch each others posts..
and without it well the Topic creation is not that versatile unless they are html pros
@minoumimi
i dont recommend users creating new topics from the admin bar or the backend unless there just keymasters and maybe moderators too.
i would even allow only keymasters and moderators in the backend of my site.
users should only edit the topics/replies using the admin links on each post.
if you only do this they should only edit their own posts
as for being the proper tools ,
there is a tag input box by the topic if you have tags enabled
tinymce toolbar can be activated using
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/
and the revisions should show up if you activate revision logs
attachments can be available with some plugins
other than that the other stuff the users shouldn’t touch.
