 * Glad to help. The plugin uses WP built-in editing functionality. If the user 
   has sufficient capabilities, they can log in and edit/delete/etc.
 * To view the custom fields, enable the “Custom Fields” meta panel on the “Edit”
   screen for any post. All attached custom fields are visible in the Custom Fields
   panel.

 * You need to enable the Custom Fields panel. It is hidden by default.

   was really hidden.

 * Glad to help:
    1. “is there a way to change name of fields? like ‘post title?’ Post Title”
 * It is possible if using the custom form, so you can change any text/labels. Check
   the Installation page for details on how to set it up.
 * 2. ” is there a way to display the number and not an actual list of how many 
   posts a user has active?”
 * No sorry, not a current feature.
 * 3. “is there a way to limit how many active listings a user can have at a time?”
 * Also not a feature at this time.
