 * Hi,
    I’ve bought the pro version and I have a condition. I want to be able to
   show edit post only on active post, but when I do it it dosen’t load the acf 
   fields of the post automatically. Is there anyway to do it?

 * No.
    I can’t find a proper way to edit acf fields for posts on the front end.
   When I do it, I see all posts and not just the posts that I wrote.

 * [@airbenderlab](https://wordpress.org/support/users/airbenderlab/) I think that
   I haven’t fully understood what you are trying to do

 * This is the case:
    I have multiple authors on my site, and I have a section that
   they can see all of their published posts.
 * I want to add an option to edit the posts that they created.
    Let’s say i’m user
   A and we have user B. I want that user A won’t able to edit user B posts.
 * Hope you understand.

    Oh okay, 
   you need this plugin for that:
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-post-queries/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-post-queries/)
 * Use the dynamic post author option

 * I don’t understand what I need to do with the plugin.
    I’ve been able to pull
   the posts by user by I’m not able to let the user edit his own posts.

 * I forgot to mention: on the form widget, under the permissions tab, set “dynamic
   selection” as post author
