I have been able to reproduce this and understand this has to do with comment flood protection in core. However, there is no reason comment flood protection should be activated this quickly for a user editing their comment.

See: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/you-are-posting-comments-too-quickly-slow-down-4/

I don't want to disable comment protection globally, but I do want users to be able to edit their comments. It seems there may be an IP attribution problem here?

FWIW, the site uses cloudflare.

thanks!

Hi @martym,

This is the core WordPress flood prevention feature. Please read this article it'll help you to get rid of it: https://frique.me/blog/disabling-wordpress-comment-flood-prevention/

In case you want to say thank you! 🙂
We'd really appreciate if you leave a good review on the plugin page.
This is the best way to say thank you to this project and the support team.

Thanks Asti. Yes, I understand this, however even when adjusting the setting for comment flood protection to 2 seconds or 15 minutes, the error still occurs. Something is not right. There seems to be an issue in the plugin that causes this via the frontend edit feature.

@martym,

To find a problem maker, deactivate all plugins (keep activated only the wpDiscuz plugin) and check again. If it works reactivate the plugins one by one and check after each activation to find a problem maker.

You can also switch the theme, it may also cause the issue.
