How to force ‘edit_post’ capability expire automatically after some period of time for all authors of your blog? You met with such limitation at forums and agree that some times such feature is useful. Did you ever think, if post edit blocking is possible for usual WordPress posts?
This plugin allows you to prohibit authors editing their published posts after preset time interval, just like the forums do.
Time interval is counted in minutes from the moment of last modification made to the post. Once preset time, e.g. 5 minutes was over, author sees just the only ‘View’ link in the posts list. Thus he can not edit or delete blocked post, inspite he is that post real author.

Plugin is simple in use as it has the only changeable parameter – time interval in minutes, after which WordPress should block access for editing to published post.
It works for all roles except “Administrator”. Look on plugin in action at screenshots and short video below.
