Hi,
I have a custom post type - Comparison posts, and a CRED Edit form for this post - WPS comparison post vote. I want to display my form to guests, but it is not appearing. It works fine for logged in users, but for guests no form is displayed.

In Access, I have allow Guests to "Edit others Custom posts", and "Edit own custom posts" for the form. So that looks fine.

I have set 'Comparison posts' to be 'Managed by access' but there is no options to allow Guests to 'Edit any' or to 'Edit own' - the option is greyed out and displays the tip 'This option doesn't work for Guests'. This does not seems to match the options available for the form (i.e. allowing guests).

I have tried setting 'Comparison posts' NOT to be 'Managed by access', but the result is the same.

So how do I allow guests to see and use my edit form?

I've attached screen shots of the access pages.
I am using latest versions of everything and I have tried disabling all plugins except for the Toolset suite.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - Edit CRED edit form is not allowed to Guests users and this is by design. The reason behind this is because of CRED edit form settings guest is not in the list of allowed roles.

Hi Minesh,
That is not an answer.

The Access settings clearly allow me to set Guest access for my edit forms - the fact that I cannot give guest access to the post is a contradiction.

There is no reason why I should not be able to set Guest access for CRED forms.

Could you please look into this as a problem?
