An Edit button on each activity post and comment opens an inline editor so members correct their own content in place. You set how long the edit window stays open, an (edited) tag keeps the change transparent, and admins can edit any post past the window.
★★★★★ Works with BuddyPress and BuddyBoss Platform · Edits posts and comments · Sitewide, group, and profile feeds
Built for
The Edit button appears the moment you turn editing on and set a window. Pick the scenario closest to how you run your community.
Members fix their own typos and broken links in place instead of deleting and reposting or leaving a correction comment, so the stream stays clean. An (edited) tag on every changed post keeps the edit visible, and you set how long the edit window stays open.
A short edit window lets members correct a fresh post but freezes older content for integrity. You pick the window in the BuddyPress settings, from 10 minutes up to Forever, and the same rule applies across the sitewide, group, and profile feeds.
Members edit their own comments on an activity, not just the top-level post, so a follow-up clarification updates the original reply rather than stacking another comment underneath it. The edited comment shows the same (edited) indicator.
Students correct a submission posted to the activity feed within the window you allow, fixing a wrong link or a misstatement without an instructor deleting the post. Admins can still edit any post when a correction is needed after the window closes.
Editing works inside single group activity, so a member updates an announcement or a question they posted to the group feed directly. The post keeps its place in the feed and gains an (edited) tag so the group sees it changed.
Administrators are exempt from the edit window and can edit any member's activity post or comment at any time, so a moderator can clean up a problem post even after the member's own window has closed.
See it in action
Switch between the two surfaces in the preview: the inline editor on an activity post, and the Edit Duration setting that governs how long the window stays open.
Inline editing
An Edit button on each activity post and comment the member owns loads the content over AJAX into an inline editor right where the post sits. The member makes the change and saves, and the updated content replaces the original without a page reload. The same flow works in the sitewide stream, group activity, and profile activity, and every saved change picks up an (edited) tag so the edit stays visible.
Edit window
An Edit Duration setting governs how long after posting a member can still edit, with six choices from 10 Minutes up to Forever. The window is enforced on every edit request and the value is filterable in code. Administrators are exempt: a level_10 user can edit any post or comment at any time, so moderators keep control even after a member's own window closes.
Works with
The plugin runs on standard BuddyPress and on BuddyBoss Platform through a dedicated compatibility layer, with Youzify profile activity supported and any other activity type extensible by filter. These are the platforms it works with out of the box.
The core requirement. The Edit button hooks onto activity posts and comments in the sitewide, group, and profile feeds, and the edit window reads the _bp_edit_activity_duration option.
Detected and handled by a compatibility layer that adapts the activity action format and the edited-text markup. Under BuddyBoss the activity edit window reads BuddyBoss's own _bp_activity_edit_time option.
version-detectedYouzify profile activity is supported through a dedicated editable-types path, so members can edit their own activity from a Youzify profile.
when Youzify is activeThe editable activity types are filterable through bp_editable_types_activity, so a developer can extend which activity types the Edit button appears on without modifying the plugin.
What you get
Every license is the complete plugin. An Edit button lands on each member's own activity posts and comments, an inline editor saves the change over AJAX, you control how long the edit window stays open, an (edited) indicator marks every change, and admins can edit anything past the window. The only difference between tiers is how many sites the license covers.
An Edit button is added to each activity post the logged-in member owns, in the sitewide stream, single group activity, and user profile activity. Clicking it loads the post content over AJAX into an inline editor in place of the post; the member edits and saves, and the updated content replaces the original without a page reload. Editing is gated by post ownership and the configured edit window.
Members edit their own comments on an activity through the same inline flow, not just the top-level post. A dedicated handler loads the comment content over AJAX, the member updates it, and the saved comment replaces the original in the thread. The comment edit window reads the same Edit Duration setting on standard BuddyPress.
An Edit Duration setting controls how long after posting a member can still edit. Six options ship: Forever, 30 Days, 7 Days, 1 Day, 1 Hour, and 10 Minutes. The window is stored as a BuddyPress option and applied on every edit request, and the value is filterable through buddypress_edit_activity_duration so the timing can be customized in code.
When a post or comment is edited, an (edited) tag is appended after the activity action so the change is transparent to everyone reading the feed. Edited comments are flagged with edit meta and carry their own (edited) indicator. The post indicator text is filterable through buddypress_bp_edit_activity_action for sites that want different wording.
Administrators are exempt from the edit window. A user with the level_10 capability (manage_options for comments) can edit any member's activity post or comment at any time, regardless of ownership or how the Edit Duration is set, so moderators can correct a problem post even after the member's own window has closed.
The plugin detects BuddyBoss Platform and adapts its activity action format and edited-text markup to match the BuddyBoss theme; under BuddyBoss the activity edit window reads its own _bp_activity_edit_time option. Youzify profile activity is supported through a dedicated editable-types path, and the editable activity types are filterable via bp_editable_types_activity for any other add-on.

Before you install
Answered by the team that maintains the plugin. Anything else, reach out through the contact page.
Yes. It runs on BuddyPress or BuddyBoss Platform and needs the Activity component, since the Edit button hooks onto activity posts and comments. There is nothing to configure beyond enabling editing and choosing an edit window in the BuddyPress activity settings.
Yes. BuddyBoss Platform is detected and the plugin adapts its activity action format and edited-text markup to match the BuddyBoss theme. One difference to know: under BuddyBoss the activity edit window reads BuddyBoss's own _bp_activity_edit_time option, so set the window where BuddyBoss exposes it.
Both. Members edit their own top-level activity posts and their own comments on an activity, through the same inline editor. The comment editor loads and saves over its own AJAX handlers, so a follow-up correction updates the original comment instead of adding another one.
You decide with the Edit Duration setting. The options are Forever, 30 Days, 7 Days, 1 Day, 1 Hour, and 10 Minutes, measured from when the post was created. Once the window passes, the member can no longer edit that post, though administrators still can.
In the sitewide activity stream, single group activity pages, and user profile activity pages. Anywhere a member's own activity post or comment appears in one of those feeds, the Edit button is available to them while the edit window is open.
Yes. Administrators are exempt from the edit window. A user with the level_10 capability (manage_options for comments) can edit any member's activity post or comment at any time, regardless of ownership or the Edit Duration, so moderators can fix a problem post after a member's window has closed.
Yes. After an edit, an (edited) tag is appended after the activity action on the post, and edited comments carry their own (edited) indicator. The change stays transparent to everyone reading the feed, and the post indicator wording is filterable in code if you want to change it.
No. The plugin does not register any REST endpoints of its own. The inline editor works over standard WordPress admin-ajax handlers for loading and saving post and comment content, not a custom REST surface.
The add-on code paths that exist are Youzify profile activity and BuddyBoss. For other content types, the editable activity types are filterable through bp_editable_types_activity, so a developer can extend which activity types are editable rather than the plugin claiming built-in support for every add-on.
Settings are stored as BuddyPress plugin options and the edited state lives in activity meta. Deactivating leaves your data in place. If you need a full removal, delete the related options and meta after deactivation.
Activate the plugin, turn on editing, and pick an Edit Duration in the BuddyPress activity settings. The Edit button appears on every member's own activity posts and comments right away, edits save inline without a reload, and each change picks up an (edited) tag. Admins keep the ability to edit any post when a correction is needed after the window.
After 16 years of buying WordPress themes and plugins, I know exactly what bad support looks like and Wbcom Designs is the polar opposite. My setup was a nightmare: multiple tools, deep integrations, custom configurations that required…
