BuddyPress Edit Activity
BuddyPress Edit Activity lets members fix mistakes in their own activity posts and comments without deleting and reposting. An “Edit” button appears next to each eligible entry; clicking it opens a modal where the member changes the text and saves.
You control whether editing is on and how long after posting members can still edit, anywhere from 10 minutes to forever.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”- Adds an Edit button to activity posts and comments a member owns.
- Opens a modal dialog with the existing text pre-filled.
- Saves the updated content in place and re-renders the entry without a full page refresh.
- Marks edited posts and comments with an (edited) label so readers know the content changed.
- Lets you set a time window (for example 1 hour) after which edits are no longer allowed.
What it does not do
Section titled “What it does not do”- Administrators are not subject to the time window. They can edit any eligible post at any time while the feature is on.
- Posts that contain Gutenberg block markup (
<!-- wp:... -->) are not editable through the modal, and the Edit button does not appear on them. - Posts with empty content are not editable.
- Only
activity_updateandactivity_commenttypes are editable by default. See Hooks and Filters to extend the list.
