 * Hi
   Can you please delete the whole post or at least delete the URL, password 
   and username of this topic: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/form-not-rendered-inside-form-tag/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/form-not-rendered-inside-form-tag/)
   Unfortunatelly I can’t edit it myself as the topic is marked as closed.
 * Thanks in advance!
   Best, Fletsch

 * Thanks! I wasn‘t sure where to place this request. But can you please also delete
   the URL? Or if not then replace it with a short url link? The forum post shows
   up in search engines related to my webshop and I don‘t want that. I usually use
   short URLs but missed it here. I‘m anyway wondering why I can‘t edit my own post
   anymore?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * I’m sorry but no. Unless it is an extreme case, posts and replies are not edited
   here.
 * Forum topics will only be edited or deleted if they represent a valid legal, 
   security, or safety concern. The URL of a public website is not security issue,
   nor is SEO.

 * Thanks for your answer but I must say this sounds like a unfair rule. As I posted
   the content and I‘m the autor of a post I should also be allowed to edit my written
   content. Such a rule doesn‘t fit to a open source community and nicely human 
   behaviour. Can you please umark the post as solved and give me edit rights? I
   think SEO is a legal reason as we all know hoe important it is for every website.
   I don‘t want my customers who search for my company name to land on a page where
   I report errors. That looks hardly unprofessional and not trustworthy. I hope
   you can understand that.

 * We do not delete posts except under extreme situations. Leaving posts up will
   be helpful to the next person who has a similar issue: [https://wordpress.org/support/forum-user-guide/faq/#will-you-delete-my-post-once-the-problem-is-solved](https://wordpress.org/support/forum-user-guide/faq/#will-you-delete-my-post-once-the-problem-is-solved)
 * And, unless it’s a legal or security issue, we do not remove links: [https://wordpress.org/support/forum-user-guide/faq/#my-post-shows-up-on-a-search-for-my-domain-will-you-delete-my-post-or-my-my-link-within-my-post](https://wordpress.org/support/forum-user-guide/faq/#my-post-shows-up-on-a-search-for-my-domain-will-you-delete-my-post-or-my-my-link-within-my-post)
 * I have moved URL to the proper field, where it should have been originally, so
   only logged in users can see it and it is not possible for search engines to 
   scrape it.
 * Please be mindful of what you post on public forums going forward.
