 * Which post did you need edited? Bear in mind that we typically do not edit posts
   unless they break the site rules.
 * (Also, for future reference, you can edit your own post for a brief time after
   you’ve posted it.)

 * As Stephen has said, we typically don’t edit posts.
 * To quote the [forum guidelines](https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/#deleting-editing-posts):
 * > Forum topics will only be edited or deleted at the discretion of the moderators
   > if they represent a valid legal, security, or safety concern.
 * We do, however, remove duplicate posts. If this happens, please do report it 
   as a duplicate 🙂

 * I only see one thread of yours in that theme’s section; what specifically do 
   you need edited there?

 * You are given the option to edit what you post up to 1 hour from when you posted
   it. Only moderators are allowed to edit posts past 1 hour and we have strict 
   rules around that.

 * As your topic does not present a legal, security or safety concern, your topic
   will **not** be edited.
