 * Hello,
    Wp User Frontend overwrite **edit_post_link()** wordpress function? I
   try to setup WP User Frontend plugin with **custom posts**. When i (as admin)
   want edit all other posts, “Edit” link open pages with WP User Frontend form,
   but i use WP USER Frontend only with custom post. When i click on edit link i
   see erorr: “I don’t know how to edit this post, I don’t have the form ID” Also
   i can not edit all other posts.

 * Hi,
 * 1. As you are clicking on the edit link in frontend dashboard, it will take you
   to frontend editing feature. To edit a post from backend, you have to do that
   from back.
 * 2. You have not set a default form in your settings page. Go to wp-admin → WP
   User Frontend → Settings → General Options → Default Post Form and set a form
   that has most common elements.

    but i have thousand not WUF posts, and i don’t
   want search posts from backend. Its easy for me access (not WUF posts) backend
   from template link using edit_post_link(). And edit WUF posts with WUF front 
   end editor. Better if WUF editor can edit only WUF posts. Maybe you can add check
   for WPUF pages?

 * I have described how to override the dashboard template and change the edit link.
