It sounds like you may have a caching plugin setup that shows you old information.
If you have a caching plugin you need to turn it off for the forum pages.

No – I don’t have a caching plugin for this particular WordPress setup.

Can you explain in a little more detail? Do you literally mean that you load up the post to edit in the editor – make changes – save and the changes you made do not get reflected?

And there seems to be implied in your first post that this is new behaviour so the question – as always – has to be what has changed on the site?

Correct – I created a new post. Then later tried to edit it but could not. 

Quick Update – I just made a reply to someone else’s post and I was able to edit that. 

So not sure why I’m not able to edit a post I created originally. 

– Kim

And is that still the case even after editing someone elses post?

Yes. It was my own post that I was able to edit. A reply to someone else. 

the last is confusing…  previously you said you could edit your own post, but now you say you can?  are you trying to edit with the forum tools or the edit button?  have you tried both?

To clarify – I am NOT able to edit a post that I originally start. (I.E. starting a new thread)

I am able to edit a post that I reply to. (Topics that I don’t originally start)

Strange I know but not sure what to do.

One more quick update – I think I’m getting closer to the problem. 

I’ve done some more testing and have found that the only posts that I’m not able to edit are those that are fairly long. I’m able to edit ‘shorter’ posts without any problem. 

I recently had to have my webhost increase the php.ini max size (or whatever that is) to be able to post longer posts on the forum. But I’m not able to ‘edit’ longer posts. 

Any ideas?

– Kim

Oh, new topic vs reply… Got it…

Is this as admin?

And same question as to method please…

Yes this is as admin. Did you see my reply above that though. 

It looks like it’s something to do with php.ini / the length of the post.

– Kim

see it now… delay in posting due to post by email…

the php.ini parameter I would check are post_max_size

Yes I’ve already increased the php.ini max size so that we’re able to make longer posts. 

But not sure why I’m not able to edit longer posts.
