Title: "Edit this Entry" link missing Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # "Edit this Entry" link missing * [alsmith523](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alsmith523/) * (@alsmith523) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-this-entry-link-missing/) * The “Edit this entry” link at the top of every blog post and page has gone missing, and I can’t figure out what I did or where it went. Can someone help me? I’ve tried adding the * * to my index.php file, but that only makes it appear on my main page. * If someone could help, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

That is correct, that is where adding it to index.php would cause it to appear. * Check your theme’s single.php and page.php files also. It needs to be in those files also.
