Tell us what you are trying to do? I want to know how to configure editing form to redirect users back to the updated post. The updated post should have all the fields displaying the updated information. When Users complete a form and log out I want the updated, completed form to always appear when they sign back in to update it

Is there any documentation that you are following? Everything I can read about this. Can't find anything specific

Is there a similar example that we can see? No

What is the link to your site? hidden link

Hi Maureen,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

There is actually a redirect option on your form. When you go to the form on the backend to edit it, you will see the option "What to show after submitting the form:" just select "Redirect to post"

Thanks Shane. Still not working. See attached. I have done what you suggested, but after the user signs out, then signs back in, the form is blank. I think it is the New Content Form.

This is what I want to happen:

1. On attached form is the application. When user sign in, they choose to start application. They go to the application form page.
2. They complete the application and save it.
3. They sign out.
4. They sign in and go to the application form page to make updates. Right now there is a blank form on the page. I need the completed form OR a link to take them to the Edit Content form.
5. Every time the user goes in they should have either the completed form or a link to the Edit content form.

Can you help with this, please?

Thanks. Maureen.

Hi Maureen,

Thank you for the clarity.

This is actually not how the form is meant to work.

What you need to do is to add an edit link to the form so that they can continue editing. If they were to save and log out.

Then log in back to continue editing they will get a blank form because the form doesn't know what it should be editing.

You will need to do it like how our documentation has it, to allow for the user to be able to still edit their post.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
