 * Every time I update wordpress my editable fronted link disappears. It has done
   again today.
 * How do I get around this?
 * This time I am unable to get the link to work again. I have followed advice from
   here and here but to no avail:

 * Any ideas on how to fix it and to stop it continuing to break? I have the following
   in my php-list-default.php file
 * <tbody>
    <?php while ( $this->have_records() ) : $this->the_record(); // each
   record is one row ?> <?php $record = new PDb_Template($this); ?> <tr> <?php while(
   $this->have_fields() ) : $this->the_field(); // each field is one cell ?> <td
   class=”<?php echo $this->field->name ?>-field”> <?php if ($this->field->name 
   == ‘edit_link’) { $this->field->link = $record->get_edit_link(); } $this->field-
   >print_value(); ?> </td> <?php endwhile; // each field ?> </tr> <?php endwhile;//
   each record ?> </tbody>

 * Arrggghhh
 * So I found this link and followed the instructions here
    [https://xnau.com/adding-an-edit-record-link-to-the-frontend-list/](https://xnau.com/adding-an-edit-record-link-to-the-frontend-list/)
 * The link now works but the editing of the table has gone completely up a brown
   creek. There are no columns and it is one long list. Any ideas?
 * It is such a pity as this plugin works great for me except when an update occurs.
   I have the template file in the child folder of my theme.
