    Members are unable to edit their Directory entries. I can see the link when I am logged in as Admin but not as a Member.
    I have edit entry ticked on Roles and have read the documentation but I am not sure how to fix this.

    Make sure the role assigned to the “members” has both the add and edit entry capabilities OR the add moderated and edit moderated capabilities on the Connections : Roles admin page.

    Hope that helps!

    If you can give me a WP admin login, I’ll take a look. The details can be posted here as a private reply.

    I logged in as the test user, added my entry, it posted. I then navigated to the directory, clicked the view my entry link and the edit my entry link was present as it should be.

    Seems to be working correctly.

    Hope that helps!

    ps. I strongly recommend disabling the “Submit New Entry” list action if the intent is for your members to only submit one directory entry, theirs as covered in the From configuration documentation. Otherwise the will be able to submit an unlimited number of entries, none of which will be linked to them and will not have the ability to edit. perhaps this is the issue you are encountering??? perhaps this needs to be made much more clear in the docs?

    I what you mean. I do have two users set up for myself. Admin and Member. I thought it would be a good way to test anything new I add to the site.

    This may be why I don’t see it on my Member profile. Good to know.
    Thank you for your help.
