 * Hi there,
    it’s a very nice plugin so first of all a big thank you!
 * all right then, since i can’t edit the tables from the frontend (creating new
   rows and entry new data just from frontend, cause i don’t let my users to the
   backend admin area) i need to remove that edit button cauze it has no function
   except to relink to the home page.
 * how can i realise it? if it’s possible to edit the tables from frontend, how 
   can i do this?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * No, editing tables from the frontend is indeed not possible, sorry. Tables can
   only be edited by logged-in users in the wp-admin area, on their respective “
   Edit” screens.
    And that’s where that “Edit” link should take a every user who
   is logged-in and possesses the necessary access rights. Thus, regular site visitors(
   who are not logged-in) will never see this link. Thus, there’s no real reason
   to hide it, but if you still want to do that (even for users who are logged-in
   and possess the necessary access rights), please see this TablePress Extension:

 * Thank you very much =)
    it was unneccesary since no user is allowed to see the
   admin area, so it has no function for me.

 * Hi,
 * but then no user would see it anyways 🙂 But if it’s useful, just proceed with
   it, of course!
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
