Hello,

I see fine the "edit" button next to "answer".

However, it doesn't seem to work : when I click it, some black bars on the top-right indicates it does something and then... nothing happens. Another user confirmed me he has the same issue.

I've done some css customization of the look & feel of comments and changed a bunch of defaults, however I don't see why it should change anything.

Let me know which information would help you to solve this and how to communicate further about this !

Blanca,

Did you do your customization before editing? Or after that?

Hello,

I changed the defaults and added custom css a long time ago. I don't remember testing editing before these changes, but at least after these it never worked.

The "edit" button is still firing some javascript.

The CSS restyles comment area width, font-size and color, but that shouldn't be an issue ?

Blanca,

could you please change it into default (we mean everything) and try again?

At first I thought it would be hard to do ; but I see there is a way to import/export setting.

I'll try and let you know.

Hello,

I had this on the backburner, but I came back to it today.

I tested a very simple thing : allowing comment editing for some time. It worked instantly. Even if it was set to the last 15 minutes, I could edit posts from days ago.

As I understand it, the edit options is there to allow guests to edit their posts.

Why should I activate this option to be able to edit in-place as an administrator ?

 

(Also, the ability to add a custom time would be a good addition to the edit option. I can probably change to what I want digging into the plugin file, but that's not very "clean")

Blanca,

Let's clarify, what is the issue in your end? How can I help you? Did you turn into default and try?

I would describe the issue like this : "As an admin (or anyone with moderator powers, another user had the same issue), I can't edit comments from the front-end unless I activate guest-editing"

I was going to turn everything to default, but I had the idea to test this before. Edit works fine as an admin as soon as I allow guests to edit.

I have not reset everything to default after that, because it seemed pointless, having very likely found the culprit.
