Simple as advertised!

I loved the author’s “Ajax Edit Comments” but it stopped working. This plugin’s extremely simple – no settings – and is up-to-date.

It counts down the 5 minutes available for editing. Users can edit, delete or cancel. Fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common questions asked throughout the years. If you have any more, please send me an email at ronald@dlxplugins.com.

If you have comments enabled on your site and a user leaves a comment, often that comment is set in stone, and the user can’t change it afterward unless an admin intervenes.

Simple Comment Editing adds just an extra feature to the comment area that allows users to edit their comments for five minutes.

The user is allowed to correct any spelling mistakes and also able to delete their comment if they so choose.

Comment Edit Lite, by default, does not have much styling. This is on purpose. We want to inherit as many styles from the theme itself.

Advanced users can customize the plugin via CSS. The markup is designed for maximum flexibility for styling.

You do not need to configure this plugin. The admin options are indeed optional.

You will find the admin options under Settings->Comment Edit Lite.

You can customize:

  • The theme
  • The timer length

Additional options and features are part of Comment Edit Pro, which is an add-on to Simple Comment Editing.

Pretty much all of them.

Please refer to our extensive documentation for Comment Edit Lite.
