 * Hi,
    I have a blog based on WordPress 3.1.1 I have a theme that uses custom post
   types and has around 1k posts equally shared by regular posts and custom post
   types.
 * Now when i am on a post and try to edit the post using “edit_post_link” feature
   the error comes in.
 * Example i am trying to edit a post with id 7738 and the edit links to the post
   id 1231.
 * I hope i am able to explain the problem.
    Would like some help

 * link to your site?
 * do you have any ‘related posts’ code after the main post content – before the‘
   edit post link’?

 * if you check, you will probably see that the ‘edit post link’ opens the last 
   post in the related posts list.
 * the ‘related posts’ code is probably not programmed to keep the original $post
   object or query_string;
 * – if this is done with a plugin, look for a different one, or contact the plugin
   author to fix it.
 * if this is within you theme, can you post the code of the related posts section?

   than 10 lines)

 * I used the reset_query before the edit link and it seems to be working just fine.
