Unable to edit previous post?
-
Hi, I need to delete a forum post (or edit it) as I have included the web url which is now being shared with people it was not intended.
The link to the forum post is here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/down-loading-misty-lake-theme?replies=6#post-1193201
and this post
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/featured-image-not-loading?replies=12#post-1178187I just need to remove the urls, or the whole post if editing is possible. I really would like to have the urls removed if possible.
Surprised that I can’t just go in and edit the forum post myself but searching the forum it appears that this is not possible.
Thanks in advance.

Only Staff and Moderators can edit, delete or close threads on these peer support forums.
Always be aware that you are posting to a public forum, and that forum topics may only be deleted if they represent a valid security or personal safety concern. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpresscom-forums-code-of-conduct?replies=1

I can provide the necessary legal information if a moderator would reply.
We have disabled all of the sub webpages unless this is able to be removed.

Note that every thread to this forum is indexed by search engine like Google within minutes of us posting into it and is available to everyone with internet access. Search engines clear their caches of indexed material at their discretion usually every 3 – 6 months from what I can see, hence, removal of any thread or comments in them is a moot point.
I have tagged this thread for Staff examination as I take it you are alleging that those links in some way are a valid security or personal safety concern. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

You are correct and that is very good information.
Thanks timethief for your assistance!

@genericuser97 – I have removed the links in those posts as requested.
Please note, as @timethief mentioned, search engines take anywhere from 3-6 months to reindex a site, so those links will still appear in Google despite being removed from WordPress.com.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
