 * Does the Advanced Forms plugin allow you to pre-populate a form with data from
   a specific post and allow the user to edit this on the front end and then save
   it (or submit it)?

 * I found a plug-in on codecanyon called ACF front form. After a few modifications
   to my functions.php file it works great. It works with the post title, content,
   and any custom Fields you have set up with Advanced custom fields.

 * Hi!
 * You might be glad to hear that a pro version of Advanced Forms soon will be released
   which includes the ability to set up a form to create and update posts and users
   automatically.
 * The plugin doesn’t currently come with this functionality built-in but it’s quite
   easy to achieve if you’re willing to write a bit of code. There is guide in the
   documentation detailing how to create a form which can create posts on submissions,
   you can find it here: [https://advancedforms.github.io/guides/advanced/setting-up-a-form-to-create-posts/](https://advancedforms.github.io/guides/advanced/setting-up-a-form-to-create-posts/).
   Now instead of creating a post you could pass an existing post ID either as a
   hidden field or as parameter on the form and then use that to update the post
   data. I would recommend either using the action `af/form/hidden_fields` or the
   filter `af/form/before_render` for passing the post ID, both are documented.
 * Hope this helps!
