   I am completely lost on this one, and I can't find clear documentation anywhere. Maybe you can help me?

   I have created a form that logged-in users can use to post to my site from the front end.

   But I can't for the life of me figure out how they can later come back and edit their post, also from the front end.

   If someone can write a clear explanation of what to do, I would be very grateful. I don't even know where to start - do I copy the submission form to be my edit form?

   And then what?

   Thank you!

   Let me know if you get any answers, I've been stuck on that one ever since I tied this plugin many months ago. I come back to give it another go now and then but there's no improvment in the documentation, no answers in the forms either. Strange.

   Also, is your edit tab disabled in your settings? mine is and I have no idea why. May have something to do with the issue

   Yes, that's it, the edit options are only available when you make a form with the append to post widget. Also you can't edit unless you create a page for that form, although the option to create that page doesn't appear to be consistantly available. And I discovered that unless you crate a page for the submision form, you can't view the post except in edit view.
   And so, it took me all day to discover these things, when it would have been so easy for the author to have provided that info. whats worse, I need all posts too default to private status, I hacked the meta boxes.php to make it that way, but the mini form plugin over rides my hack! makes all posts public anyway!! Arrrrrrrrrg!!!

   Try U can Post, it's great but can't work for me becase It creates a double post when used in a page widget, and I need it as a widget.

   The search continues....
