# Users can edit post?

 * In the settings we can decide if a user can or cannot edit posts. But it makes
   sense that edit posts should be available para Pending posts, but not for published
   posts.
    Meaning, when a user creates a post, he should be allowed to make corrections.
   Once the administrator makes his review and publishes the post, it should no 
   longer be available for editing by the author.
 * How can this be achieved?
 * If I set to No in the “Users can edit post?”, the author can’t edit even if the
   post is in Pending Status.
    If I set to Yes, the author can edit even after the
   post has been published. Not good.

 * Hello [@contactovisualpt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contactovisualpt/),
 * “Lock user from editing” feature of WPUF which allows a user to edit a post for
   a certain amount of time after submitting the post.
 * This feature is available in WPUF form-based and user-based. Only the form-based
   version is available in the free version.
 * So if the admin sets the editing hour for a form to 3 hours, after submitting
   the post, users can edit up to three hours regardless of the status of the post.
   After three hours users will be unable to edit the post.
 * Regards,

 * “Lock User From Editing After”
 * Found it. 🙂
    User Frontend > Post Forms (edit form) > Settings > Edit Settings:
   Lock User From Editing After… X hours
 * That will do.
    Thank you
