  Is there any way to create an edit function in the comments section so people commenting can edit their own comment after they post? Sort of like in Facebook? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Oh that is, indeed, a bummer. Thank you, however, for your quick reply! Much appreciated.

  My pleasure. You could always suggest it in the “Ideas” section of the forum, here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/ideas#postform

  Staff monitor feedback there and sometimes if enough people ask for something they’ll consider introducing it. It’s no guarantee, but it’s worth a try.
