Adding edit links to every post

    I remember with WordPress in the past, you could put an “edit post” link on each post that would only appear to logged in admins/editors (and likewise, an “edit page” post on pages). Is this still possible? Is there a plugin for it or do I have to edit my theme itself? (Which would be okay, I am using a child theme.)

    You can use edit_post_link() in whatever page template is displaying your posts’ content. It’s strange that your theme doesn’t include it, though.

    Can you explain a bit more how I can find what page templates are displaying my posts’ and pages’ content? I rather expected there to be a posts.php or pages.php but there are no such files.

    I’m using the Fixed theme from Array.

    Here are the files appearing in the theme directory.

    The Readme tells me nothing other than how to install the theme.

    You’ll probably be better off speaking with your theme’s vendors. After all, that’s part of what you paid for. If I had to guess, though, you’ll probably be looking at editing the format-*.php files.

    Well, I can ask them, but as I understand it they would consider that “customizing” the theme and charge me a lot of money for it, which is why I was hoping to do it myself on a child theme, which is how I’ve done the rest of the customizations I’ve made. I’ll take a look at the format files, thanks!

    It worked, thanks!
