BP Edit Activity allows you and your member to edit their already posted activity and comments from the front-end.

BuddyPress is a simple plugin and doesn’t need much to change. But to access its settings, navigate to wp-admin > Settings > BP Edit Activity.
Here, you can change the following options:
- Change Who can edit activity.
- Choose the Activity and Comments will be editable from the front-end or not.
- Disallow editing after a certain time.
BuddyPress Activity Edit Front-End
Using this plugin, users who created the post and admins will be able to easily edit the post from the front-end, they will no longer have to log in to WordPress Dashboard to do so. From backend setting, admin can select who can edit the activity. From this setting admin can enable the edit option for activity posts and activity replies from frontend. Admin can also be able to set time limit after which he or user who created the post are not able to edit posts or activity .
Here you can see we have set the time limit for user is 5 minutes to edit posts or activity and excluded admin from time limit.
Now if user try to edit his post or activity after 5 minutes that we have set then he is not able to do that because after this time edit option get disable from frontend automatically. From below image you can see that edit is option is not showing now. It become very easy to understand all the functions of this plugin using BuddyX theme.

Editing is a must-have feature for any blogging, social networking, forums or community websites. We humans can make mistakes and it would be so inconvenient to rewrite the whole content rather than editing it.
We highly recommend to use this buddypress edit activity plugin, the plugin has already over 3000+ active installations. If you have any doubts about the plugin, feel free to ask in the comment section below. Thanks for Reading
