I want my CRED post edit form to only be available and visible to the original author that posted to edit.

I tried this - found here https://toolset.com/forums/topic/cred-form-only-for-post-author/

 [wpv-if evaluate="'[wpv-current-user info="login"]'= '[wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="user_login"]'"]
  [cred_link_form form="Your CRED form"  text="Edit Profile"]
[/wpv-if]

But it creates errors in the View. Is there a way to do this?

Resolved: I made sure in the CRED Frontend Access Group that the 'Edit Others Custom Post with CRED Form...' was NOT selected for the 'Custom Group' role I had set up... though of course they can Edit OWN Custom Post and Create OWN Custom Post.

Also with regards code posted above, the wpv-if is a apparently legacy shortcode - has been replaced with wpv-conditional. So something like below may work - though untested as above worked perfectly...

 [wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-current-user]' eq '[wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="user_login"]' )"][cred_link_form form="Your CRED form" text="Edit"][/wpv-conditional]
