[Resolved] editing form not displayed

Hi,
I am building a site using Elementor and Toolset. I built various front end forms and now I would like customers to be able to edit their posts.

For example for the custom post type 'Applications' I created a front end form to publish a CPT and a form to edit your own CPT. I published a page to display the edit form. I added a link in the 'Applications' view to edit the post and a link to delete the post.

[wpv-post-edit-link text="Modifier"] - [cred_delete_post_link action='delete' message='Souhaitez vous vraiment supprimer cette publication ?' message_show='1' class='cred-refresh-after-delete']Supprimer[/cred_delete_post_link]

I also set up toolset access so that subscriber role can access the publishing and editing forms.

My problem : the link to edit the CPT does not show up... only the deletion link is visible.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I would like to know have you followed the steps given with our Doc:

This is how you can add edit links:

Hi,

I think I did all this, except I use Elementor therefore the process is a bit different as I should not use a toolset content template.

Can you please have a look ? I can give you an admin access to the site.

Thanks in advance
Eric

Sure. Can you please send me problem URL where you are displaying the view with edit link.

Please send me both frontend and admin user access details if I need to check with a specific user role on the frontend.

*** 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.

Also there is a page where the edit form should be displayed : this page is "APPLICATIONS MODIFIER"

I loggedin as admin user and I loaded the application page: hidden link

I do not see the Edit/Delete link even as admin user as well. Can you please tell me where I can see the edit link as admin?

[ericW-5]

Hi, you can see the edit & delete links at the end of the APPLICATIONS view.

When you load the page hidden link you should see a form. Input whatever you like and hit send (envoyer), then you should see the APPLICATIONS view. Edit and delete links are at the bottom of the view.

Thanks
Eric

The thing was that you were using the wrong edit link shortcode.

But as you are using elementor and you wanted to display the edit for with the specific page you created. I've created the following content template that holds the edit form:
=> hidden link

 [cred_form form='applications-modifier' post='[wpv-search-term param="edit_app_id"]']

Then, I've added that content template using the elementor's shortcode module to the following page (application modify page):
=> hidden link

Then, with your view that displays the application, I've added the edit post link as given under:
=> hidden link

<a class="cred-edit-post" href="/applications-modifier/?edit_app_id=[wpv-post-id]">Modifier</a>

I can see its working as subscriber user: hidden link

Can you please confirm it works at your end as well.
