I use the Capability Manager plugin on my WordPress sites. There is a capability option within the plugin’s settings that you can use to allow your users to edit/delete their comments.

But is there any way we can add a Delete link in front-end to delete the comment there by the comment author?
Well, I’m not a coding genius or anything, but I just tested this plugin and it may be able to help you.
After 5 minutes, the user is no longer allowed to edit their comment, and then can also delete it by removing all text from the edit section.

Google link in front-end to delete the comment there by the comment author
Looks like there are a couple of ideas there.

I am using WP on one of my site with multiple users. There is a big problem with commenting system, and it is the disability of editing and deleting self-written comments.
My all the user are very uncomfortable when commenting because they cannot either edit nor delete comments. Editing is important to correct the grammar, misspelled words, add something extra and Deleting needed if one want to leave the discussion.
I think Deleting can be a easier solution because if you want to change or add something, delete old comment and write a new one (updated.)
So, I request to whole WP community that please write the code to add a Delete link, which directly deletes the comments for it’s author. Editing a posted comment would be highly great thing.
I am expecting:
1. Only user can delete or edit their own comments.
2. Any way to delete and edit comments directly from front-end.
Please Help
