Problem:
My CRED Edit links are not displaying on posts that are not yet published.
What's wrong?

Solution:
The rule is this:

if ( 'publish' != $post_status )

So, whenever a post is not published, this won't work.

This is by design.

As edit links do link to the frontend version of a given post, replacing their content with a Content Template or layout containing the form to edit them, and not published posts can not have a proper URL, we only show edit links for published posts.

You need to publish it first.
