    Hello –

    I upgraded from V1 to V2.

    I have my site set up to allow users to Claim listings, but I manually approve the claims before they go live.

    Most of the listings are ones I created, and then I encourage the owner to claim them.

    I was talking with a customer on the phone, and after she claimed her listing and after I approved her claim, she could not see any button to edit it.

    So after I got off the phone I looked at my Listing Detail page layout, and decided that in addition to the GD_Claim_Post shortcode, I needed to add another GD_Author_Actions shortcode next to it. That way users would see the Claim Post button on unclaimed listings, and the Edit or Upgrade buttons on listings that they had claimed.

    I used my own test account to see if it worked, and it seems to. The claim listings button goes away, and my test account can now Edit the listing.

    However I noticed that my Admin account was also seeing the Edit or Upgrade buttons on the listing page. Is that the expected behavior? Or should those only be visible to the owner?

    Separately, when I click the Edit button to edit the listing, the page title shows “Add Listing”. This could be confusing to the end user. Is there any way to change it to “Edit Listing”?

    My website directory can be seen here:
