Edit post bug!

Please update to latest version. It should be fixed.

I am running version 2.1.7, isn’t this the latest version?

Hello?

The solution would be disabling post editing when the post is in pending status. This feature isn’t yet in the plugin. To do that, please follow the instructions:

Open `/class/frontend-dashboard.php’ and replace these lines (176-178):
[php]
?>
<a href="<?php echo wp_nonce_url( $url, ‘wpuf_edit’ ); ?>"><?php _e( ‘Edit’, ‘wpuf’ ); ?></a>
<?php } ?>
[/php]

with this:
[php]
if ( $post->post_status != ‘pending’ ) {
?>
<a href="<?php echo wp_nonce_url( $url, ‘wpuf_edit’ ); ?>"><?php _e( ‘Edit’, ‘wpuf’ ); ?></a>
<?php
}
}
?>
[/php]

This should do fine.

For more security, open /class/frontend-form-post.php and the snippet below line 90:
[php]
if ( $curpost->post_status == ‘pending’ ) {
return ‘<div class="wpuf-info">’ . __( ‘You can\’t edit a post while in pending mode.’, ‘wpuf’ );
}
[/php]

Hi Tareq,

Thanks for your reply.

What if we would like users to have the ability to edit posts that are pending? We have a moderation process on our upcoming website whereby if a user’s submitted article is not up to scratch, we give them the ability to go back and fix it up. I think the better solution would be giving the ability to edit a post no matter what its status is, but always keeping that same status once the edit is complete.

I can imagine other sites would like this ability too.

Thanks
Dave

Bump

I am going to release a version with some other fixes within few days. Guess I’ll be adding an option in the edit post status to “No Change”.

Thanks Tareq, really appreciate it. Sorry for pestering, but it’s pretty much a requirement 🙂
