Editing or Deleting a Post

Updated 5/4/2026

Administrators can edit the title, body, or status of any post, and can delete posts when necessary.

How to Edit a Post

  1. Navigate to Administer Site > Forums > Messages.
  2. Click the title of the post you want to edit.
  3. The Update Messageform opens with the current values. You can change:
    • Title — The subject of the post. If the post is a reply with no distinct title (it inherited the forum title), this field is shown as disabled and cannot be changed here.
    • Body — The full content of the post. Supports rich text formatting.
    • Status — Set to Active, Pending, or Disabled.
  4. Click Save to apply your changes, or Cancel to go back without saving.

How to Delete a Post

Warning: Deleting a post is permanent and cannot be undone.

  1. Open the post using the steps above.
  2. Below the Save/Cancel buttons, click Delete.
  3. A confirmation dialog asks: "Do you really want to delete this message?" Click OK to confirm.

Note: The Delete button is only visible to administrators with sufficient access privileges.
