Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am trying to link to the post edit form from a listing page. In a member profile area, I list all the posts by the user and in the view/loop for that page I placed the shortcode:

[toolset-edit-post-link content_template_slug='2287' target='self']Edit[/toolset-edit-post-link]

The Edit button appears, but it links to the actual post rather than the edit form. Eg the link appears as: hidden link

Is there any documentation that you are following?

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hello,

There might be other compatibility issue in your website, please try these:
1) Deactivate all other plugins, and switch to WordPress default theme 2022, and test again
2) If the problem is fixed, activate other plugins/theme one by one, try to locate the problem plugin/theme.

If you need more assistance for it, please provide a copy of your website in below private message box, I need to test and debug it in a live website.

I am downloading the files, will update here if find anything.

There is only one file .wpress in the dropbox link, which is about 900M size, it is too big to import, do you have All in One WP Unlimited Extension? if you have, please share it in your dropbox.

If you don't have, please provide a test site with the same problem, fill below private message box with login details, thanks

#2506575

Thank you. The extension is here: hidden link

Once activated you will need to click 'Check for updates' and then update.

I don't think the issue is conflicting plugins or themes, I have deactivated all plugins except Toolset and Elementor (required). I think it must be something I am missing.

I am rather desperate for a solution now.

Thanks for the details, the problem is a conflict with Elementor plugin, the Elementor take over single expert post content area in frontend, so Toolset content template and the inner editing post form can not display.
Since the Elementor plugin is required for your website, so you can try below workaround:

1) Create a WordPress page, for example page title is "Edit expert", page ID is "2579", display the below shortcode:

[toolset_access role="Administrator,Expert" operator="allow"]
[cred_form form='expert-details-form' post='[wpv-search-term param="expert-id"]']
[/toolset_access]

It will display the editing post form for Administrator and Expert users.

2) Edit the content template "Expert Area Nav":
hidden link
replace the editing form link shortcode with below shortcodes:

[toolset_access role="Administrator,Expert" operator="allow"]
<a href="[wpv-post-url id="2579"]?expert-id=[wpv-post-id]"><i class="fa fa-edit"></i> Edit Expert Listing</a>
[/toolset_access]

It will display the a link to the page of step 1) and pass URL parameter "expert-id"

Please replace 2579 with your new page ID. and test again
