 * Hi,
    I simply would like to add an option for users to delete their own posts
   on my website. The porblem is : the text and the confirmation box shows up, it
   takes the user back to the homepage but Nothing happenned, the post is still 
   there. Could someone help me ?
 * Here’s the “single.php” of my theme with my code in it:
    <!– <?php get_header();?
   >
 * <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
 * <?php hu_get_content( ‘tmpl/single-tmpl’); ?>
 * <?php if ($post->post_author == $current_user->ID) { ?>
       <p>ID ); ?>”>Delete
   post
   </p>
    <?php } ?>
 * <?php get_footer(); ?> */
