 * Everything else is working perfectly fine but when it comes to editing posts 
   from front end the plugin fails to do so! When clicked on the edit button the
   page reloads but takes the user back to the same page which is on which the option
   of edit and delete is! Please help as soon as possible!
    Thanks

 * Hello [@taaha161](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taaha161/),
 * Go to **wp-admin > Pages > Add new page** Create a new page named **Edit** and
   simply paste the **[wpuf_edit]** shortcodes in the editor and save the page.
 * Now, navigate to **wp-admin > User Frontend > Settings > General Options > Edit
   Page**. Set the page you created containing **[wpuf_edit]** for this option and
   save the changes.
 * Check again by editing post on the front-end. I hope you will get the issue fixed.
 * Thank you

 * Hello [@taaha161](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taaha161/),
 * You cannot see any content on this page directly. However, edit a post by clicking
   on edit link located on the front-end dashboard. The edit page will load along
   with the fields related to the post type.
 * Thank you

 * No, with clicking the Edit link from front-end dashboard shows Invalid Post. 
   Same error. Delete link button also. I’m logged in with admin. Rest Api not working.
   While not Override the post edit link setting is set up to YES, WP edit link 
   which goes on to post=number&action=edit works, yours pid=samenumber&_wpnonce
   =xxxxxxxxxx not working. Invalid post!

 * Hello [@thecrazybastard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thecrazybastard/),
 * Thanks for you updates.
 * Please select edit page from **wp-admin > User Frontend > Settings > General 
   Options > Edit page**, now try to edit post from the frontend. Please note that
   the user cannot edit post from the frontend if the post is not submitted by WPUF
   form.
 * Thank you

 * Problem is solved for me with supporting another plugin author. My nginx server
   is not configurated right to work with wordpress when change to another, not 
   default permalinks. Need to add “try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;” to configuration
   file.
