    Currently, there is no option for a user to edit or delete their own comment in the discussion forum. People sometimes regret posting a comment. I don’t want them to email me asking me to delete their reply as that could get overwhelming. Is there an append code I can add to the Theme to give them at least the delete option?

    Note: they can’t delete discussions or replies

    Hi J,
    Thank you for the question.

    I would suggest looking at this
    https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/before-installing/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

    and this
    https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/before-installing/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

    In other words, you will need to use a role/caps manager and add an additional capability to subcribers to allow this.

    Since BuddyBoss uses a fork of bbPress, notifying them might help.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Thanks! I tried this earlier and found it didn’t work. I tried again and I see that with Members Roles enabled for edit and delete, they can only delete the post from the Feed. If they go into the actual discussion, the option to delete is not there. Can you think of anything to add the Delete links on the Topic page?
