 * hi,
 * I installed Pods on a fresh WordPress installation using elementor pro, too.
 * A new Custom post type appears in my admin left bar. Incan create new custom 
   posts (and fill attaché custom fields).
 * But: in the admin listing all posts of this CPT I only can „view“ but not edit
   or delete a custom post.
 * as I did not find any hints on this – any ideas?

 * The most likely cause to the issue you’ve described here seems to point at capabilities.
   Did you configure this pod with custom capabilities or the ones based off of 
   post/page? If it’s a custom capability, you’ll need to ensure those resulting
   capabilities for the post type have been added to the role(s) you want to have
   access.

 * Hi Scott,
 * Well, I just created a new CPT and did not change much from the default settings.
   But maybe, one of the tiny changes may have caused this. 
   As I am just starting
   to get familiar with Pods (to find out if I shall change from Toolset to Pods
   as Pods is better supported by Dynamic.ooo than Toolset regarding grabbing related
   articles between a CPT and regular posts …) I was able to delete the CPT (and
   used the Pods admin settings to delete all related data, good functionality!)
   I tried a new CPT – and now all works! So, though I compared to non-working CPT
   with this new one I was not able to find out which setting made the difference.
   But now works – and maybe I will find out what caused the problem when tinkering
   around a bit further. Thanks so far!
 * 
   Kind regards, Martin
