[resolved] How do I remove the phrase 'Edit this entry' ? (3 posts)

    I'm using the theme everydayseries, and I'm allowing no logins to view other pages. However, if I go to my web site (http://ww.simplemoneyshop.com) and go to one of the other pages, at the bottom of the page is a link that says "Edit this entry" and when it's clicked on, it goes to the dashboard to allow editing of that page.

    I tried adding a user that only has subscriptor rights, and that phrase is gone.

    Is there a way to get rid of that phrase and not have people log in to the web site?

    That is probably presented via the edit_post_link in that template.

    For instance in the WordPress Default theme's wp-content/themes/default/index.php this code presents that type of link:

    <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>

    Note that you have to be logged-in to see that link.

    With the help of the Template Hierarchy article, determine what Template is displaying those links. Then edit that Template and delete the code.

    you have to be both logged in AND be able to edit things, so even if you had people registering for your site, if they weren't admins they wouldn't see that link.

    I suggest logging out and viewing the page to see what the rest of the world is seeing
