I am trying to:
have Cred Form render to allow editing of Animal post type

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

Pass:
1FHbPUM*7LM^pQllO%6o^lY#

This user has "Committee" user role.

I expected to see:
Form to edit Animal post fields (image attached)

Instead, I got:
Nothing renders

Hello,

How do you setup the edit form link?
Since you are using Toolset Views + Forms plugins, I suggest you follow our document to setup the edit form link:
https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-editing/
Building Forms for Editing Content and Users

Hi Luo.
Thanks for your reply. I was adding the form into the template via php shortcode, but I am not able to add the form either when just using just the Toolset Form button from the editor, via the #2 instructions from the link you provided. In the third screenshot I provided previously, there is an example where I attempted to add a form directly to the page content. Here it is again (image A). I am running into the same behavior with all the cred forms that were setup previously.

I wonder if Toolset Access is blocking the form from rendering somehow. All the forms are not showing, even the ones where I see they are granted Guest access (image B & C)

Nothing changed with the setup other than updating the plugins recently.

Thanks for your time.

Access plugin can Toolset form's permissions, see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/access-control-for-cred-forms/

For example, you can check these in your website:
1) check the setting in Dashboard-> Toolset-> Access control,
in the Toolset Forms tab, inside the Forms Frontend Access Group and Forms Users Frontend Access Group sections
Make sure those forms are accessible for specific user role.

2) In case it is a compatibility problem, please deactivate all other plugins, and switch to wordpress default theme 2019, and test again

3) Also check if there is any PHP/JS error in your website:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/debugging-sites-built-with-toolset/

If the problem still persists, please provide database dump file(ZIP file) of your website, also point out the problem page URL and form URL, I need to test and debug it in my localhost, thanks

It looks like this was something with Toolset Access that may not have been configured correctly. The client is now able to edit the posts. Thank you.
