WP AJAX Edit Comments

Author: Ronald Huereca

WP Ajax Edit Comments (for WP 2.1+) allows users and admins alike to edit comments on a post. Users can edit their own comments for a period specified by the admin, and admins can edit all post comments. What better way to show reader appreciation than letting the readers edit their own typos?

Please use caution when using this plugin for the first time and be sure to test various characters, especially if your blog isn't UTF-8. This plugin needs to also have mbconvertencoding enabled. Since version 1.1.3, there is an option in the admin panel to disable this, but still be sure to test various characters.
