# Broken Edit Job Function

 * The “Users can edit without admin approval” setting is not working in WP Job 
   Manager. The edit option does not show on the front end of the page in the job
   listing. Users are supposed to be able to edit the job they posted originally.
   Only the APPLY TO JOB button appears. Is there a fix for this?

    the option to edit
   without admin approval is working. This only allows the registred users to edit
   a listing in their own dashobard. The site where the “jobs_dashboard” shortcode
   is located.

 * Hi [@slling31](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slling31/)
 * As mentioned by the previous user, the Job Listing can be edited by logged users
   who submitted the page, and the option to do that is only available on the Jobs
   Dashboard page, which shows a list of published and drafted jobs.
 * Best,

 * That is what I mean, employers that have submitted jobs, cannot edit them after
   they are submitted. Even when they are logged into their profiles.
 * However, I can edit the job from the backend when I am logged in as an administrator
   using the job dashboard. Is there a way for employers that submit jobs to edit
   the postings without being set up as an admin?

 * Never mind, I was using the wrong short code.
