This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have created a Form to edit a post, and I would like to display the Edit Post Form link to only site admins and to the post author. Other site visitors should not see this link.
Solution: Use a combination of Access Control shortcodes and conditional HTML to handle the conditional display of this link.
[wpv-conditional if="( [wpv-post-author format='meta' meta='id'] eq [wpv-current-user format='meta' info='id'] )"] Current User is post author. [toolset-edit-post-link layout_slug='program-edit-layout' target='self']Edit %%POST_TITLE%%[/toolset-edit-post-link] [/wpv-conditional] [toolset_access role="Administrator" operator="allow"] [wpv-conditional if="( [wpv-post-author format='meta' meta='id'] ne [wpv-current-user format='meta' info='id'] )"] Current User is admin but not author: [toolset-edit-post-link layout_slug='program-edit-layout' target='self']Edit %%POST_TITLE%%[/toolset-edit-post-link] [/wpv-conditional] [/toolset_access]
