[Resolved] Post edit link is showing the backend editor

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

Problem: I would like to display a link to edit the current post, but the link seems to redirect Users to the backend editor.

Solution: The Toolset Forms button above the editor will generate the appropriate shortcode for you. The syntax is slightly different depending on whether or not your site uses Toolset Layouts, so it's best to let the system generate it. The shortcode should be toolset-edit-post-link, not wpv-post-edit-link, so please delete the wpv-post-edit-link shortcode. You must then create a Content Template (if you do not use Toolset Layouts) or a Template Layout (if you use Toolset Layouts) that includes the correct edit post Form as described in the documentation below.

Edit Content Template ‹ CueCircle com — WordPress.jpg

Tell us what you are trying to do? After many changes to the site, i found that the edit ad link is gone.....so i ve tried different codes and finally got one that worked. However, it takes the subscriber level user to the backend editor. How do I show the frontend editor and nothing else so the user wont have access to other data?

Is there any documentation that you are following? https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/cred-shortcodes/#toolset-edit-post-link

What is the link to your site? hidden link

Much tks!

Hi, the Toolset Forms button above this editor will generate the appropriate code for you. The syntax is slightly different depending on whether or not your site uses Toolset Layouts, so it's best to let the system generate it. The shortcode should be toolset-edit-post-link, not wpv-post-edit-link, so please delete the wpv-post-edit-link shortcode. You must then create a Content Template (if you do not use Toolset Layouts) or a Template Layout (if you use Toolset Layouts) that includes the correct edit post Form as described in the documentation here:

https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/building-forms-for-editing-when-using-layouts/

If the edit post link still does not appear for you, please try these troubleshooting steps:
- Update WordPress and all Toolset plugins to use the latest versions.
- Log in as an administrator and test again.
- Temporarily deactivate all plugins except Types, Views, and Forms (and Layouts if your site uses Toolset Layouts).
- Temporarily activate a default theme like Twenty Nineteen.
- Test again. If the problem is resolved, reactivate your theme and other plugins one by one until the problem returns.
- If the problem is not resolved, I'll take a closer look.
