Hi,

I have problems letting engineers modify there own profile in the front-end.
Every engineer has it's own custom post Engineer.
This post type is created automatically when a engineer creates an account.

I want to let engineers modify there own profile.

What are the best steps to make this?

Hi Ben,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Do you have our Access plugin installed? Also have you created an Edit form for this as yet?

Please let me know and we can continue from there.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Thank you for the quick response.

This is what i did:
1: I've build a post form with the following options:
- Edit existing content
- Auto-generated the form
- I've put the form in a Content Template
2. I've added the content template to a Page (engineer profile)

When the engineer tries to open his profile, he sees the following message:
"Form type and post type do not match"

The only thing I do not know is how to link the Edit Post Form to the engineer cpt belonging to the engineer.
