 * Hello!
 * I dont know if this is a feature that allready exitst or not.
    I hope you can
   help me with this. I want my users to be able to edit there own post without 
   going to the backend. It would be great if they can update there own post from
   the front end.
 * Is there any way to do this in the free version or in the commercial?
 * Thanx for a great plugin!
 * Best regards,

 * Hi Axbard, it is an interesting idea but a current feature of either version 
   of USP. Keep in mind however that submitted posts are handled by WP just like
   regular WP Posts, so any front-end editing plugin that works with regular posts
   also will work with USP.

 * If a user makes a mistake..and mis-spells on the title..and wants to.. How would
   he correct it?? ..or even delete the post to create a new correct one?
 * Please suggest a plugin or code that wld do this easily?

 * [@evillizard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evillizard/) there are two 
   possible ways:
 * 1) The user is logged in when they submit the form AND have sufficient capabilities
   for editing, deleting, or whatever they need to do. Then later after submitting
   the post, they can log back in to WP and edit via the “Edit Post” screen.
 * 2) The other way is to use a front-end editing plugin to enable the users to 
   make changes to post content on the front end. Here is a list to give you some
   ideas:

 * Note that list is kind of old and written for USP Pro, but it also applies in
   general to the free version.
