I've successfully created front end edit forms, and I am able to allow users to edit their content from the front end.
However, When they click the link to "edit this post" and are taken to the page to do that, as well as the form for them to make their edits, they also see the content of the post. So they see everything twice, which is confusing. See example screenshot. You get the title and then the form and then all of the content as it was.
Can you please tell me how this can be avoided? Many thanks,
Andrew.
Hi, I'm trying to make the same setup on a staging site you can access. Now I can't even create the content template! Ia m getting this message up whenever I try...but I'm IN THE CONTENT TEMPLATE, clicking the the Toolset Forms > Edit Post Link dialogue.
Honestly this is driving me mad. I used to do this regularly following through your old documentation Your new docs are full of gaps, it's awful to follow.
Okay, I have managed to get around that hiccup posted in the last hour or so, above.
SO I am not back to the repeating content issue described above.
Look at this screenshot (it is zoomed far out to get everything on)
We have the edit form appear on the page, with all of the content to edit, as well as the actual content itself (well, apart from the actual post content field, which isn't repeated for some reason.
So its because how our content template works is that it replaces the post content area in order to display the form.
Now on your template you can see that it does replace the post content area that you've added with the Elementor post content widget, however the other items are not apart of this post content area. This is why this area is still there even though the form is being displayed.
The best way to do solve this is to add some css to the form itself to hide this area after the form is loaded.
