Hey guys,
I’m having trouble with the “Edit” button on the listings. I had a user report that he could not see the edit button at the top of the listing and when I checked it’s there when I’m logged in as an admin, but when I’m logged in as any other type of user it is not.

Also, when I scroll down to the bottom of the screen the “Edit” button there is visible to everyone even though I previously had it so only Admins could see it. When a NONadmin user clicks on it, it redirects them to the homepage.

In summary,
1) I’d like the “GD > Author Actions” to show to only the listing author and admins.
2) I’d like the “Edit” button at the bottom of the page to only show to admins.

Could you help me figure out what the issue is?

Just a quick update:

1) THIS ISSUE HAS RESOLVED. I’d like the “GD > Author Actions” to show to only the listing author and admins.
2) THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM. I’d like the “Edit” button at the bottom of the page to only show to admins.

Hi P B,

Thanks for your post. I’ve inspected your Website and can I troubleshoot this further by deactivating some plugins? If you agree, please backup everything and notify me.

Hey Kor,

I think I’m going to make a workaround and just hide that “Edit” link on the bottom with CSS. I’ll just use the top menu bar to as an admin when we need to edit listings on the back end.

Thanks for the support. You can close this ticket out.

2. That edit link is probably not coming from GD, though, I can’t tell you where it comes from because it looks like you have hidden it. It is probably coming from your theme. You might want to figure it out though if it is giving every user edit access.

1. GD Author Actions should work to only show an edit button (and delete, upgrade, or add franchise) to listing owners or admins. If it is not doing that, then please let us know and we will fix it.

GeoDirectory makes it possible for your users to add and edit listings from the frontend. We highly recommend keeping users out of the backend and making use of the frontend features from GD.
