Hello All,

I am facing a small issue. Users cannot edit their own posts, although I have set the permissions to "Allow".

Analyze permissions results:

Forum Permissions

Edit post by self: Yes
Time limit on editing/deleting own posts (minutes): Unlimited

Where is the problem?

He did that, but having the whole result would be helpful.

@AliS, would you provide an Analyze Permissions result screenshot for everything? There may be something in another permission causing problems.

Go to <url>/install/ and rebuild the master data. Does that resolve the issue? If so, then an add-on has broken permission calculation updates at some point. If it doesn't resolve it, then it's possible there could be another add-on at play. I would recommend confirming with all add-ons disabled and on the default style.

Unfortunately, did not work.
Really a strange issue. I have disabled all add-ons but still the same problem.
Moderators and administrators can edit the post post, while normal users cannot.

I think I will need to manage the problem myself.
Thank you.

I'm seeing the same issue. Thought it might be an issue with my theme, but I selectedf the XF default theme and am not seeing an option to delete my own posts when testing with a regular member account. Settings are as follows:

Delete post by self:
Yes (Details)
Forum Permissions - Delete post by self
Global Permission Values
Member / Subscriber: Allow
User Value: Allow
Final Value (Global): Yes
Time limit on editing/deleting own posts (minutes):
Unlimited (Details)
Forum Permissions - Time limit on editing/deleting own posts (minutes)
Global Permission Values
Member / Subscriber: Unlimited
Final Value (Global): Unlimited

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

There are a couple other things that come into play with post deletion:
  • If it's the first post in the thread, it would delete the whole thread so it requires that permission.
  • If the thread is closed, the post won't be deletable.
  • If the forum is closed for posting, the post won't be deletable.
Otherwise, it uses the "standard" permissions you listed.

If that doesn't cover it, try disabling add-ons. If it still doesn't work, go to <url>/install/ and trigger a master data rebuild. Has that solved it?

Hey Mike,

Understand the three points you called out, but this is an open thread and not the thread starting post so it doesn't apply. I'll try the addon suggestion, followed by the rebuild if it doesn't work.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll reply here either way for future reference.

So as it turns out, was some sort of advanced caching at the server level that prevented the changes to privileges from being immediately reflected on the front end. Also, further complicating things is that when analyzing permissions via the XF admin, it doesn't seem to show the edit / delete features. I'm unsure if this is an issue with the custom theme we created, but I suspect not as it appears the same in the stock them when I check there also. Anyhow, at least we got it working.

Thanks for the assistance.

Hi,
is there a way to make it possible for Users to delete their own posts in closed threads?
Thank you
