@sjdonovan,

Please deactivate the plugins/theme one by one and check after each deactivation to find a problem maker.

You should find the problem maker then as it's suggested above. Once you find it contact the plugins/theme support and ask them to solve the issue.

@asti Is there anything I can do? Last time, I downgraded the platform, but then it caused my site to crash when there were updates. Is there a way I can enable the Font awesome icon?

@sjdonovan,

The reason is still the same, the Font awesome icon has been replaced by SVG. Have you found the plugin or theme that have made those changes?

@asti I am back a year later and having the same problem. People cannot edit their comments. You see, the only option here is to hide replies. I cannot edit my own as the admin nor can anyone edit their comments. Please help! People are trying to write a poem a day on this site, and they are getting frustrated (and I am, too). I use this comment plug in because it is supposed to allow edits. http://www.ethicalela.com/haynaku/

@sjdonovan,

Probably the active theme has some functions that replace the icons with SVG. If the previous version of the wpDiscuz plugin doesn't have such an issue you can downgrade and use that version.

@asti Can you give me a hint as to which plugin might be doing this? I unplugged one at a time, refreshed my site, and still, that "gear" icon was dormant -- nothing, no editing option.

What types of plugins have this SVG?

Is there a way to revert to the former version so we can have the edit feature, which does not conflict with SVG?

@sjdonovan,

One of the active plugins replaces all font awesome icons with SVG. Thus you see such an issue. Please deactivate the plugins one by one and check after each deactivation to find a problem maker.

Any update about why my followers cannot edit? I saw you tried a test, but we are finished day 3 of our 5 day writing experience, and my followers are really missing that edit feature. Help, please.

@asti Thank you. It did work so that the quotes are not cut off, but before, there'd be just one quote. The quote per line is not needed -- just one at the beginning. Is there a way to fix that?

Still, the edit issue is my BIG, BIG concern as people are deciding not to participate in this month's writing experience because that feature is not working.
