I am trying to: We set up a custom post type called "Members" with a specific layout and a number of custom fields and allowed users to create their profiles to be displayed on the site through it. We set permissions to "Users" so they can only add new "Member" posts and edit their own. It did work for a while but now I can only fill out those fields through an admin account. Users can still access their own posts but are only able to edit the title. Please refer to the screenshots below.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: Only in the backend

I expected to see: SCreenshot 3 is what I see when logged in as an admin (which is what we should be seeing in all instances).

Instead, I got: screenshot 2 is what I see when I try to edit that same post if logged in as a "User." Screenshot 1 is what I see when I try to create a new post when logged in as a "User"

Hello,

Thank you for getting in touch.

For clarity the users are editing their profiles on the Backend or are they doing it on the frontend ?

Also ensure the field group permissions allow the user role to edit the custom fields.

My issue is resolved now. Thank you! The issue was that the field group permissions were off, for some reason!!!
