# inline editing?

 * I just recently changed themes and have lost the ability to edit my posts inline
   after they’ve been published. I can edit comments inline, but not my own posts.
 * I’m not sure whether this is a plugin I need to install or if I need to add something
   to the template.
 * My site is [over here](http://www.quietfish.com/notebook) if anyone needs to 
   have a gander.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * What exactly is “inline editing”?

 * Sorry if I’m not using the right term…
 * 1) I write the post in the WP interface.
    2) I click to publish it. 3) I leave
   the WP interface and View Site to proof it, to see what it looks like when it’s
   published.
 * Sometimes I find a typo. What I used to be able to do is make changes to my text
   _directly into my blog post_ without having to return to the WP interface.
 * (I can’t think of any other way of explaining it!)

 * I have never seen anything like that (although it could exists, nevertheless).
   
   Maybe to switch back to the old theme to show us what were you talking about…

 * Only the admin can see the link to edit. It appears at the end of the text of
   the post.

 * Well, that is NOT “inline editing” because it takes you back exactly to the wp-
   admin Write/Edit panel.
 * The link is optional in themes – you can add it to your template file(s).

 * No, this is different. It opened up the actual post without going back to the
   WP admin page.
 * Thanks for your help… perhaps it was an old plugin that wasn’t supported by higher
   versions of WP!

 * sorry, there is no such plugin! i tried even to search for paid one (So i could
   download it from a warez site for free lol :P)
 * But i couldn’t find it! Maybe this should be a feature for the next Version (
   2.6.3/2.7)
 * btw, is there a feature request “page” or forum!

 * I recall Mambo / Joomla having this capability.
