# Edit posts without login?

 * I have used the plugin _[Gravity Forms – Update Post](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gravity-forms-update-post/)_
   before. Because it was no longer working I have updated to this plugin.
 * With the old plugin it was possible to edit posts without login. Would it be 
   possible to change this plugin to also allow guests to edit posts?
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Some examples:
 * **Allow the public to edit posts**
    `add_filter('gform_update_post/public_edit','
   __return_true');`
 * **Allow all logged in users to edit posts**
 *     ```
       add_filter('gform_update_post/public_edit', 'custom_gform_update_post_public_edit');
           function custom_gform_update_post_public_edit()
           {
               return 'loggedin';
           }
       ```
   
 * **Only allow editors or higher to edit posts**
 *     ```
       add_filter('gform_update_post/public_edit', 'custom_gform_update_post_public_edit');
           function custom_gform_update_post_public_edit()
           {
               return 'edit_posts';
           }
       ```
