[Resolved] Adding Toolset post edit form when using Elementor Template

Tell us what you are trying to do?

I have an Elementor-powered website with a single post template created in Elementor.

I want to allow users to edit their post on a different, full-width page than the single post for a better user experience.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

I have followed the documentation extensively, including this article:

https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-editing/

However, the hangup when I create post templates with Elementor rather than with Toolset is that the edit form replaces the post content. In a Toolset template that would be everything, but with Elementor it is only the part where I insert a Post Content module. This looks visually bad because the rest of the template is still shown, even when the user is editing.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Basically, I have the exact same issue as the support thread I'm linking below.

I have implemented that user's fix, and it works when I'm logged in as an admin. However, it doesn't work when I'm logged in as a regular customer/user who has access to edit forms.

What is the link to your site?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

To troubleshoot this, I'll need to see exactly how this post edit form is set up on a separate page.

Can you please share temporary admin login details, along with the link to the form page? It would also help if you could share a username and password, for a test customer account too.

Note: Your next reply will be private and it is recommended to make a complete backup copy, before sharing the access details.

regards,
Waqar

Thank you for sharing these details.

The test user that you shared with me has the user role 'Directory Member'.

If you'll go to WP Admin -> Toolset -> Access Control -> Toolset Forms -> Post Forms Front-end Access Group, you'll see that the 'Directory Member' role is not allowed to use the form 'Get Listed Edit Form' to edit 'own' or 'others' posts.

To allow this user role to only allow editing of own posts (where the author is the same user), you can check the checkbox for the 'own' posts.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
