# Non Users Delete Posts

 * How can I allow non users to delete posts?
 * I am currently using this code:
 *     ```
       <?php
         global $wp_query;
         $cat = get_the_category();
   
         if ($cat[0]->cat_ID == 86){
             $url = get_bloginfo('url');
             echo "<a>ID) . "'>Delete post</a>";
        }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * This adds a delete link if the current post is in a certain category. It works
   perfectly but It requires a user with edit privileges to be logged in. How can
   I change this to allow for regular, non registered users to delete posts?
 * Any help is appreciated.
