Hi guys,
I created two posts re this and then realised i’m an idiot. Its currently not possible!

I have found the following plugin not sure if it will or wont work.

The plugin states i must add
```
<?php if ( class_exists( 'WPEditableComments' ) ) { WPEditableComments::edit('Edit'); } ?>

<?php if ( class_exists( 'WPEditableComments' ) ) { WPEditableComments::delete('Delete'); } ?>
```
to the comments.php file of your template, in the loop of the comments list (for example after comment_text() ) :

I am wondering if there is a better place for me to add this code.

Thanks,
UF

Hi,

I’m almost positive there are hooks that we can use for this. I’ll ask to Stiofan to provide an example.

He’ll probably reply tomorrow. Today he’s already off.

Thanks

Thankyou,
I have found another option which is working but its in no way what i want, its far too bloated, and slowed my site right down.
Lucky Stiofan! I look forward to his reply,
thanks, UF.

Hi UF,

I assume you want it to appear instead of the normal edit link?

If so you can use this code. (not tested)
```
add_filter('edit_comment_link','my_edit_comment_link',10,1);
function my_edit_comment_link($link){
    if ( class_exists( 'WPEditableComments' ) ) { 
       $link =  WPEditableComments::edit('Edit'); 
       $link .=  WPEditableComments::delete('Delete'); 
    }

return $link;
}
```
Thanks,

Stiofan

‘normal edit link’ Where should this appear (please specify pages)?
Should users be able to edit their reviews by default?
I am under the impression they cannot, hence why i want to implement this as a solution..
Thanks,
UF

I tried the code below but obviously it dint work as i wanted because the link only appears for admin!

I am currently using Ajax Edit Comments which works for admin, and displays the correct links to normal logged in users (for example a user can only edit their own content..!) however, even though the edit box displays, once the user clicks save it gets stuck and does nothing..
It works for the admin user and no body else!
I understand this is out of support and you guys dont have to answer this sort of thing but at present the plugin authors aren’t able to offer support either..!

Thanks, UF

Hi UF,

SO what plugin do u want help with? I tested Ajax edit comments and it seemed to work ok for me to edit text for both admin and subscriber.

There was a JS error in your quick code which i have fixed.
The comments edit was failing becasue of a php warning about adding slashes, i added this to your child theme functions to stop the warning from showing (not resolve it) and it now works.
```
// hide PHP warnings/errors/notices
error_reporting(0);
```
Thanks,

hey Stiofan unfortunately this hasnt worked, i still cant successfully edit comments, they go to the spam folder and all sorts!
Its a real shame, I was really relying on this and just assumed it was possible!
Thanks for your help, if you have any other ideas please let me know!
Thanks, UF

Hi, the problem is something to do with the buddypress integration addon, without it enabled i can edit my comments using the Listr account…
Any idea what the problem is?
Thanks, UF
