I have been ripping my hair out all day, searching for proper answers but nothing seems to work.
I have all my post types built with single post elementor templates.
I was able to establish front end forms for them no problem at all. I have done a lot of reading through the support forums and have tried a bunch of different options. Only one option that I have tried partially worked.
What worked was creating a content template for a form & getting the edit post link shortcode. I put that shortcode in the content template of one of my custom post types & was able to be brought to the edit page on the front end. The issue I am having is that it needs to be done for every cpt for it to display on each individual one. Is there a way to have it hardwritten in so it displays on every cpt automatically?
I was also wondering if there would be a way to hide the Post Content default field on the add new editor but leave it displayed on the front.
Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
Based on the description you shared - it seems you are having trouble displaying the post edit form - correct?
- If yes:
Can you please share more details where exactly you added the edit link and what post type you want to edit and what edit form you created.
*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

When I try to access the wp-admin - it ask me for another authorization password.
Can you please share that and I will check what I can do.
Also, It seems you forget to share the problem URL where you want to display the edit form. Please share problem URL where you want to display the edit form and what edit form you want to display.

This was actually one of the solutions I looked at and anytime the post type author account would click on the edit link it would refresh the post type page with no means of edit. All the create forms have pages and work just fine. It is the edit ones that are giving me the issue. I need to do all the edit forms, but if I can get walked through one or a solution to get one, I can absolutely do the rest. I have been pulling my hair trying to figure this out.
Can you please share the details where you try to add the Edit link and where you added the form and once you share this details let me try to fix the issue.
I created a new page in elementor, tried using the toolset form and adding "Edit Artist/Band Page". then published the page & went into Views & added the link to the view. When I went and checked on Front end, it just refreshed the page. I am not sure what you mean by share teh details. I followed the steps in that link you provided and when it did not work, I removed the page and link from view.
Now, I could not able to access the FTP and as you know, without changing the plugin's directory to plugins.disable on your site I could not able to login.
Can you please send me working FTP access details so that I could able to login once I change your plugins folder or try to follow the following steps:
The steps are easy to follow but maybe you think its over complicated. You should just follow the basic things with the following steps.
What you should do is:
- Create new page (do not use elementor) and add the form within the post body:
For example:
Where:
- do not forget to change the form slug with your original form slug.
Then where you want to display the edit link, you should try to add the edit link as, for instance, you should add this link to your single post which you want to edit.
I would be happy to setup a demo for you but unfortunately FTP is not working at this end and without FTP I cant able to login to your site as I will require to change the plugins folder.

Then, I've edit the elementor template you created that displays the single Artist post:
=> hidden link
And added the Text Editor module just below the logo and added the following line of code to it:
