Editing Activity and Comments

Once you have enabled editing (see Quick Setup), members can correct their own posts and comments from the front end. This page describes what they see and do.

Editing an activity post

1. Go to any activity stream (sitewide, a group, or a profile) while logged in.
2. Find a post you own that is still inside the edit window.
3. Click the Edit button on the activity entry.
4. The Edit activity modal opens with your current text pre-filled.
5. Change the text and click Update activity.

The entry re-renders in place with your new text and an (edited) label. There is no full page reload.

The editor works with plain text. When the content is loaded into the modal, @mention links and surrounding paragraph tags are converted to plain text so the field stays clean and readable.

Editing a comment

1. Locate one of your own comments under an activity post.
2. Click Edit in the comment options.
3. The Edit comment modal opens with the comment text pre-filled.
4. Change the text and click Update comment.

The comment updates in place and shows an (edited) indicator. An empty comment cannot be saved.

Which posts can be edited

A post shows an Edit button only when all of these are true:

• Editing is enabled in the plugin settings.
• The logged-in member is the author (or is an administrator).
• The post is still inside the edit window (administrators are exempt).
• The post is an editable type (activity_update, or activity_comment for comments).
• The post has text content and is not built from Gutenberg blocks.

Administrators

Administrators see the Edit button on any eligible post and are never blocked by the edit window. They can edit member content at any time while the feature is on.

When the window has expired

After the edit window passes, the Edit button no longer appears for that post or comment. Nothing is shown in its place; the option is simply gone.
