XF 1.4 Retrieving deleted or edit posts

[flowerpot132]

Our members can edit and delete their own posts. If so, how do I see what the original post was?

Thanks

If you have post edit history enabled it is possible to see the original content by clicking the History link in the post.

Ok great thank you. I would like that only for admin though.

Does that work for when the post is deleted too?

 

[Paul B]

It's a permission setting so in general moderators are typically the only members who would have access to that.

The ability to view soft deleted posts is also a typical moderator related option.

Ok excellent. Where do I do that please? Had a look in
Administrator settings and could see anything.

 

[Paul B]

It's related to moderating not administrating.

Have a look at the user group permissions related to forum moderator.
