Editing posts

Post Reply New Topic

I'm always thinking of more things to say or I decide to re-word something after I've already posted it - when I edit one of my posts I've had a rare occasion where it'll show up on the new post "Last edited by...", but most of the time that line at the bottom doesn't show up. It just looks like a regular unedited post (with my changes in there of course). What's the difference? What's the criteria for wp to make it public that the post has been edited? Just curious.

I believe its a time limit, ie if you think of the change right away the system considers it part of the orginal post. If you change it later, the system considers it a change. I'll double check this and see if I can get more detail.

i believe that your post shows it's been edited if you edit it after it has been replied to. if it hasn't been replied to, no edit message is shown.

That was the other possiblity. It makes sense.

I kinda figured it was a time limit but the reply thing does make sense too. Hmmm...

I edit my posts very often and it definitely works as Vivi said.

Tim and Vivi are correct. That is how it works.
