Another question:
I think I believe that the extra fields in the form is the rest of the fields from the Post Type.

Can I change the names of these fields? I think I can use them for afterwards 🙂

HELP!
I have now discovered that the look of the Post type "Udstillere" has changed A LOT!

How do I get it to look as before (as a normal post) You can see the problem here when I click on one of the "Udstillere":

hidden link

Then I get this where I can see all the fields I have created:

I only want to show the text and the featured image as in a normal post.

What should I do?

Thank you in advance

Hi Kristen,

Perhaps we need to take this step by step 🙂

So the reason why post has the form on it is because the Layout that is assigned to it only has the form on the layout. See Screenshot

Remove the form from the layout and the issue should be resolved.

Lets take this step by step and outline to me the first area that is not working correctly then we can move on from there.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane.
Thank you so much for your help and patience.

I'm going off to bed now but I have managed to do as you wrote in your last reply. Thank you for your guide!

The next thing is to get "description from each field to show in the form.

After that I wan't to secure that the typed in data is secure and that no unauthorized personel has access to them.

Last I want to give the guest that typed the data into the form access to the data so that they can edit featured image, Post content and Post title.

But now it's very late here in Denmark so I'm off to bed.

I wish you a very pleasant day where ever you are.

Kind regards Kristen

Hi Kristen,

Lets start with this "description from each field to show in the form."

I'm assuming that you want to show the descriptions that are defined here
hidden link

Unfortunately the descriptions there are for backend only. If you want them on your cred form you will need to edit the form and add the text itself above the fields. This is because Types creates fields for the backend but CRED can pull the field and allow it to be populated through the frontend.

Secondly here "After that I wan't to secure that the typed in data is secure and that no unauthorized personel has access to them."

Now this i'm not sure what you mean. Is it that you don't want persons to view this data on the frontend? Only the person who creates it ?

Finally "Last I want to give the guest that typed the data into the form access to the data so that they can edit featured image, Post content and Post title."

For this you can look into our documentation here to create the edit forms for your post.

I know its a bit long but its worth the read. We can pick up tomorrow.

Thanks,

Hi Shane.

Thank you for your reply. I'm only at a PC right but I will look again in the afternoon.

Here is my comments:

Answer: I have done it manually 🙂

Answer: Yes. Only Admin and the person who has created it are allowed to see all the data and the person who has created it shoul be able to to edit Post Title, Post Content and Featured Image after first input. The data everyone should see is only Post Title, Post Content and Featured Image.

Hi Kristen,

I'm happy i'm able to assist you thus far.

Regarding securing the post information , this would require our access plugin.

Take a look here as this will be able to guide you through the steps.
