How do I edit or delete a post?

Are you a per creation creator?

If you've checked the option to charge members for a post and delete that post within the same month, any pending bills for members will be deleted. This means any members with pending bill(s) for a paid post will not be charged if you delete your post within the same month it was created.

Additionally, if you've published a post as unpaid, you cannot edit the post to retroactively bill members. If you forgot to select the option to charge members, we recommend deleting the post, and creating a fresh post – don't forget to select to charge members.
