For example, one of our registered members reaches out to me and says their business was listed in our geodirectory and they’d like access to the listing to edit. I then go into wordpress and upgrade them to “author”. I go to the place, I assign the new user as the author. The listing then shows up in their Profile on our site and under their listings, and they have the option to click edit to edit the listing. However, once they get to the edit page, all the fields are blank and they essentially have to start over. How can I make sure the data from the actual listing carries over so it can be edited?

Thank you
