Tell us what you are trying to do?

I tried it to and fro
created a my account trial page without any design

I want to add an edit link, that shows a content template with an edit form

and i cannot see it on the backend and also not on the frontend
i tried everything
i even threw out elementor and started designing the page from the bottom up without a design tool again
nothing helps

under edit basic profile input nothing appears
no link, nothing

Is there any documentation that you are following?

https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-a-my-account-page/

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Can you please tell me for what form you want to display the edit link and on what page (please share problem URL where you want to display the edit link)

*** 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.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Do you mean that the Edit link you want to display should be link to the post of post type "Profiles Main CPT" and the author of that post should be the same as loggedin user - correct?

having said that each author will have only one post available with the post type "Profiles Main CPT" - correct?

[evaM]

each registered user can fill out ONE Profile, with PROFILES MAIN CPT
the author of this post is the same as the logged in user

the Profile consists of ONE Main Profile
and within this main profile i have many child cpts as a substitute for repeating fields

the page my trial my account page shall show all the forms to add and o edit data and also the results( using views)

the author of this post is the same as the logged in user

Ok great

We can take one question per ticket. so, I've added the following code to the "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset that will help to get the Profile ID of the current loggedin user:

function func_get_post_id_author_profile() {
   global $current_user;
    
   $author_id = $current_user->ID;
   $post_type_slug = 'profile-main'; 
  $args = array(
    'post_type' => $post_type_slug ,
    'author'=> $author_id,
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'fields' => 'ids',
    'numberposts' => -1,
    
 );
$result = get_posts( $args );
  if(isset($result[0]) and is_numeric($result[0]) ){
    return $result[0];
  }else{
    return 0;
  }
     
}
add_shortcode( 'get-author-profile-id', 'func_get_post_id_author_profile' );

Then, I've created the following page and added the shortcode block to it and within the shrotcode block I've added the Edit form:
=> hidden link

[cred_form form='edit-profile-main-form' post="[get-author-profile-id]"]

- As you can see the post ID to be edited will be returned by the shortcode: [get-author-profile-id]

Then, to the page where you want to display the link:
=> hidden link
- I've added the "Edit Main profile" link using "Fields and Text" block.

Can you please confirm it works at your end.

[evaM]

yes this works great

but it leaves me completely confused
and somehow shocked

i thought i could use tooleet without knowing and needing any code
and now it turns out i do have to know about code, which i do not

and i have to build more stuff,
if all that would be that complex an implements code it is undoable for me

this makes me feel really left alone now

do you have a way without code for me?
otherwise i am really smashed

[evaM]

is this thing not a normal way in toolset without coding?

"so, I've added the following code to the "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset that will help to get the Profile ID of the current loggedin user:"

[evaM]

.

[Minesh]

To get the profile ID of current logged-in user - you will require that shortcode I shared.

Most of the things you can build without code but at some point like this requirement where is requires the such code to grab such dynamic content and it depends on your requirement.

[evaM]

so i need help with every further step now?

[evaM]

why doesn't that tutorial work for me... where is the difference?
