Hi

1. Thanks for wonderful community tool.
2. One of our users is unable to edit his own posts. Does anyone know what may cause this? [http://community.appybuilder.com/t/extension-sidebar-navigation-update-04-08-2017/327?source\_topic\_id=4626](http://community.appybuilder.com/t/extension-sidebar-navigation-update-04-08-2017/327?source_topic_id=4626)

Thanks

What have you got the _post edit time limit_ setting set to?
