[Resolved] Front end "Edit post form" shows page atributes

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The customer wants users to edit their own custom and WordPress posts using a front-end Toolset form. However, when users click the edit post link, they are redirected to the edit page, which includes unnecessary theme elements like the sidebar, double images, and other Elementor theme components.

Solution:

Initially, I tested the issue by creating and editing posts but could not reproduce the problem. The customer added a "company profile" and posts to my account for testing.
I identified that the issue was related to the Elementor templates and provided a solution by following steps outlined in a similar case: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-to-edit-posts-with-a-front-end-form-if-using-elementor-templates/#post-2365825

The customer followed the provided steps, which resolved the issue, removing the unwanted theme elements and displaying only the edit fields.

I have an other topic but no response anymore. I have a site where users can edit their own custom posts and wordpress posts by an front end toolset form.

But if they click on te edit post link they go to the edit page. All fine. Accept that there are page atributes around the edit form like title featured image and some theme building stuff. I use Elementor Pro.

Hello there,

We apologize for the delay with this.

I checked this but so far I'm having issues reproducing the issue.

What I did so far:

- Created a test editor user
- Logged in using it and created a post in the URL: hidden link
- Went to my account and edited the post I created

I looked for the theme settings or Elementor controls in the UI but the editor seems limited based on my tests.

Can you please let me know if I'm looking at the wrong thing?

If you need to share a screenrecord you can use a free service such as loom.com for that.

Thank you, please let me know.

Hello Mateus,

Thanks for your time.

I have added a "company profile" to your account. If you go and "edit" this from te front-end you wil see al the theme stuff like the side bar, double images. It's not an empty "edit' form with only toolset edit fields.

I have also added an posts to your userprofile. If you edit this from the front you wil see the theme elements in it also.

Hello Arnold,

I had previously disabled to maintenance mode and forgot to enable it back after my tests, I apologize.

To make sure this doesn't happen again, I just disabled it for the user role 'editor', to allow me to debug this, please let me know if we can let it like that for the duration of the ticket or if you need me to disable it as well.

Regarding the original issue, I tested it but this is how it looks on my end: hidden link

Can you confirm if I'm testing it correctly? If so, perharps this is happening to a specific user or role.

Thank you, please let me know.

Hi Mateus,

Thats correct. Maybe some small settings need to be changed but that is not the issue.

In the edit template, how can al that theme/themplate styling be removed and only display the edit fields?

Hi Arnold, thank you for providing me with that screenshot.

Upon further review, the issue seems related to the Elementor templates.

We had an user with the same issue and my colleague was able to find a workaround.

Can you please try to follow the steps outlined here to see if it gets the issue fixed?
