I found instructions on how to add an "Edit" link to a post template.
Is it possible change the link to a button?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

The shortcode for the edit link 'toolset-edit-post-link', doesn't support changing the HTML for it from a link ('a' tag) to a button (button tag).

However, you can use the 'class' attribute to assign a custom class to it, and make the link look like a button.
( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/forms/cred-shortcodes/#toolset-edit-post-link )

Example:


[toolset-edit-post-link content_template_slug='ct-for-books-edit' target='self' class="button"]Edit[/toolset-edit-post-link]

Most themes offer built-in class names like 'button' or 'btn' etc, to style the HTML elements like standardized buttons. If you don't have this on your website, you can also use custom CSS code for such styling.

regards,
Waqar
