[Resolved] Single template requirements for cred post edit form

[Author]

I have a site with a main custom post type - accommodation. I was displaying the single accommodation using a content template, and I also have a cred form to allow the user to edit the single accommodation.

I've re-written the single accommodation page using twig templating, but I would still like to use cred to edit the post, however linking to the edit form just displays the single post and not the cred form.

My link to the edit form looks like /accommodation/my-house?cred-edit-form=77

If I replace my twig code with a basic loop, in single-accommodation.php, then my cred form works.

What are the requirements to enable cred editing on the single accommodation page?
Is it possible to locate the single post edit form on another page? e.g. /my-edit-page/?cred-edit-form=77,id=565

It looks like you're using an old edit post link format. The most up-to-date edit post link format is

<em><u>hidden link</u></em>

In this case 12345 represents the numeric ID of the content template that includes the edit post form.

If you want to place the edit post form on a separate page, you can use the cred form shortcode attributes or PHP API to set the form and post ID, as described in the documentation here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/front-end-forms/cred-shortcodes/#cred_form
