I am trying to: edit posts.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

I expected to see: an edit link

Instead, I got: no edit link or anything.

Login info provided with previous ticket.

Hello, this is the tutorial I tried repeatedly to follow (the one mentioned in your previous reply). I have forms, templates and layouts and views for everything. when I get to step 3 on this tutorial: https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-editing/
it says.....
In the dialog that appears, select the Content Template that displays your editing form.
Selecting the Content Template that displays an editing form
That’s it, a shortcode with a link to edit the current post is inserted.

It does not show the image in your tutorial. Instead, I get this screen (see attached 047). it wants a layout. So, I have layouts, see 048, the haunted business is the haunted house edit form.

So what's going on there?

Hello,

Thanks for the details, I can get your website credentials from previous thread:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/cant-edit-listings/

And I have done below modification in your website:
1) Edit the layout "Edit Haunted Business":
hidden link
Replace the visual editor cell with a form cell, see screenshot: form-cell.JPG

2) Edit the layout "Template for Haunted Houses"
hidden link

Edit the first visual editor cell, replace this line from:

<a href="[cred_form form='edit-haunted-house-form']">edit</a><br />

To:

[toolset-edit-post-link layout_slug='edit-haunted-business' target='self']Edit %%POST_TITLE%%[/toolset-edit-post-link]<br />

See screenshot edit-form-cell.JPG
