 * I am capturing emails from those who want to download my free ebook.
 * The registrant signs up and then receives a confirmation email.
 * When they click on the hyperlink in the email, they are directed back to the /
   confirmation page.
 * My concern is that in this mode, the page EDIT button is exposed.
 * This means that my site is vulnerable.
 * How to I lock down this page?

 * Hi there,
 * Quick question: what happens if you go to that page in Incognito mode in a browser?
   Generally the Edit button only appears if you log in to WordPress, so you can
   edit the page.
 * This is also more of a theme issue, rather than a WP Email Capture plugin issue
   as well.
 * Hope that makes sense!

 * Thanks for getting back to me. The issue was that I was logged in as admin. I
   just had to log out. All is good.

 * (Just to clarify a comment above).
 * When I said “It’s a theme issue”, I meant that the “The theme handles generally
   the edit links, rather than WP Email Capture”. What the theme author did was 
   correct and good – and recommended, I wasn’t causing it an issue, I just meant
   if there was something wrong (which there wasn’t), I’d recommend speaking to 
   your theme author.
 * There isn’t, so everything is fine 🙂
