Almost a year ago, you mentioned that you will soon launch in future versions. I am very waiting for this function to be included in the plugin. * Thank you !!!

But users can only edit their posts, not delete them. Is there any way to add post removal permission to this function? * Thank you!! * Plugin Author [Greg Winiarski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gwin/) * (@gwin) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-and-delete-posts/#post-12547449) * Hi, hmm it is possible to add it, this week will be quite busy, but i will add this functionality to this code snippet by the end of this week. * Thread Starter [chauthong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chauthong/) * (@chauthong) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-and-delete-posts/#post-12547750) * Hi Greg Winiarski, * Thank you for the update. This function is very useful when the site uses a cache plugin and there is no need to use additional login/registration page plugins. When clearing cache with logged in members, the loading speed without cache of other websites is slow. Have a good time. * Thank you. * Plugin Author [Greg Winiarski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gwin/) * (@gwin) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-and-delete-posts/#post-12563759) * Hi [@chauthong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chauthong/), i added the functionality which allows annonymous users to delete the Ads, please upload the anon-edit.php snippet to add it * [https://github.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/blob/master/anon-edit/anon-edit.php](https://github.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/blob/master/anon-edit/anon-edit.php) * Thread Starter [chauthong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chauthong/) * (@chauthong) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-and-delete-posts/#post-12565541) * Hi Greg Winiarski, * Great!

How to fix it? * Thanks * Plugin Author [Greg Winiarski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gwin/) * (@gwin) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-and-delete-posts/#post-12819302) * Hi, can you send more details? that is what does not work exactly? I am testing the Anon Edit snippet and it seems to be working fine for me? * Thread Starter [chauthong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chauthong/) * (@chauthong) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-and-delete-posts/#post-12820098) * Hi Greg Winiarski, * After posting and getting approval by administrator. The user receives an email with a link to edit or delete the post. but when they click on that link, they get the message “You do not own this Ad.” If they click on the “delete now” link they will also receive a similar message “Post you are trying to delete does not belong to you.” * (Screenshot: [https://imgur.com/FQiGeF3](https://imgur.com/FQiGeF3)) Please take a look through this issue. * Thank you. * Plugin Author [Greg Winiarski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gwin/) * (@gwin) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-and-delete-posts/#post-12825077) * Hi, any chance the Ad is assigned to some user? or that you are trying to view this page while logged in? * The “You do not own this Ad.” message would show only if the `$post->post_author! = get_current_user_id()`, that is when annon user tries to edit Ad assigned to some user or logged in user tries to edit Ad not assigned to him.
