Can’t edit draft from dashboard

Hi @joncon62

If I save a post as a draft I can no longer edit it from the dashboard as the Edit button isn’t there. All my published events can be edited.
I have the edit page correctly setup, and the option ‘Users can edit post’ is selected.

→ According to your description, it should work fine if the settings are well configured. I tried to reproduce the fact on my testing site & the result is fine here.

I currently don’t implement any paid subscriptions or payments for event submissions.

As far as I can tell, the edit button is missing due to $payment_status = ‘pending’ in the post (_wpuf_payment_status) so it fails the test to enable $show_edit in dashboard.php

How do I set this flag if I don’t use any of the payment methods? I can write a snippet to do it but can I do it from any menu settings?

→ It [payment_status] should not relate to the Editing feature as you mentioned. Hence, I don’t see any use for any custom snippet.

Kind regards.

Thanks for your reply, I found my problem.

Even though I had ‘Enable Payments’ unchecked, hidden below that I had ‘Enable Pay per post’ checked. Maybe it would be a good idea to ignore this setting if ‘Enable Payments’ is unchecked.

The other problem I have now is that the href link is disabled for draft posts:

$show_link = !in_array( $post->post_status, ['draft', 'future', 'pending'] );

I would like them enabled so users can still click on them to see what the post looks like.

Can this be an option?

Hi again,

→ Nice to hear!

→ Despite the option, if you’ve “Enable Payments” disabled, the other option “Enable Pay Per Post”, won’t be effective on the frontend.

The other problem I have now is that the href link is disabled for draft posts:

$show_link = !in_array( $post->post_status, ['draft', 'future', 'pending'] );

I would like them enabled so users can still click on them to see what the post looks like.

Can this be an option?

→ We have the plan to introduce the “Preview Post” option on the frontend side. I hope this will helps users to show their posts from the frontend.

Thanks.
