Hi Minesh, This works, but it works all the time. When any user role with Talent is logged in, they can see that edit link on other profiles. How can I only show that for the user who's profile is current logged in user profile?

Thanks for the help!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

You can use the [wpv-conditional] shortcode to display the conditional output.

To get the current logged-in user ID, you can use the shortcode:

[wpv-current-user info="id"]

To get the current post author ID, you can use the shortcode:

[wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="ID"]'

So, to display conditional output based on current logged in user is post author, you can use the following code.

For example:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-current-user info="id"]' eq '[wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="ID"]' )"]
<p style="text-align: right;"><a class="cred-edit-post" href="/edit-talent-profile-page/?profile_id=[wpv-post-id]">Edit [wpv-post-title] </a></p>
[/wpv-conditional]

I've applied the above code where you display the edit link: hidden link

Can you please confirm it works as expected.
