Update Post with CPT
-
Hi,
I’m new with this plugin. I managed to create two pages with Elementor allowing to create and update the content of a CPT created with ACF Pro.
For the creation of the content of the CPT, no problem.
On the other hand I encounter a problem because I don’t understand how the plugin works for the update.
In the Actions area of the widget in the Elementor page, I chose: edit post.
In the Post area of the widget I did a test with Post to edit = select post and I selected a specific CPT. No problem, it works.What I’d like is to make it dynamic. In other words, I’d like the user to choose in the posts he has access to, the one he wants to update.
At the moment, I don’t see how to do that. I have created a CPT Archive page and the user can see all the CPTs, but how do I link to the Elementor update page by passing the CPT ID as a parameter?
Unfortunately, I have not found any examples that explain how to do this.Thank you in advance for your help.
The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

The second method is to use a URL query to edit the custom posts dynamically, meaning you have a page called “edit CPT” for example. If the url has in it a parameter “post_id=5” then this form will edit post ir CPT with the ID of 5. To use this, choose Url query under “post to edit” in the Post tab.
@shabti First of, thank you for this plugin I don’t need to mess around with page template 🙂
I’ve been looking for a way to dynamically set which post to edit, and I’m aware of this query parameter, it works. The problem is user can easily change this parameter value and will be able to edit other post.
I propose you could add dynamic tag for “Select Post” control for post_ID, so we can put shortcode to generate which post we need to edit.
@ihaleboop I’m sorry I’m hijacking your topic.
