[Resolved] Shortcode toolset-edit-post-link

I have a View where I loop through posts (Custom Post Type) and I use the toolset-edit-post-link shortcode to show a link for each post so that User can edit it from Front End. Here is the entire shortcode:
[toolset-edit-post-link layout_slug="bucket-5-record-payment"]Record Payment |[/toolset-edit-post-link]

I also have a custom post status Registered. Called 'Closed'. Some of the posts are set to Closed.

For posts that have Post Status of Publish I see the Record Payment link but for the posts with "CLosed" custom post status I don't see the link. So my question is does the toolset-edit-post-link only work on Posts with Publish/Draft/Private/Future (internal WordPress Post Statuses)? How can we make it work with Custom Post Statuses?

Hi Mukesh,

Thank you for contacting us and I'll be happy to assist.

Your observation is correct and by default, the [toolset-edit-post-link] shortcode, only generates the edit link based on actual/published URL, for the posts with "Publish" status posts.

Note: For the other built-in posts statuses ( e.g. 'future', 'draft', 'pending', 'private' ), it generates an edit link that uses the post's preview URL.

If any custom post status is registered, no edit link is generated for posts which have that status, unless "toolset_filter_edit_post_link_publish_statuses_allowed" or "toolset_filter_edit_post_link_extra_statuses_allowed" filter is used.

Examples:

1. For "Publish" type custom post status "closed":

function example_callback( $allowed_post_types, $form_id ) {
    
    $allowed_post_types = array( 'publish', 'closed' );

    return $allowed_post_types;
}
add_filter( 'toolset_filter_edit_post_link_publish_statuses_allowed', 'example_callback', 10, 2 );

2. For "non-Publish" like custom post status "closed":

function example_callback( $allowed_post_types, $form_id ) {
    
    $allowed_post_types = array( 'future', 'draft', 'pending', 'private', 'closed' );

    return $allowed_post_types;
}
add_filter( 'toolset_filter_edit_post_link_extra_statuses_allowed', 'example_callback', 10, 2 );

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
