“Edit post” next to posts and comments seen by readers
-
All of my readers can see “edit post” next to the posts and “edit” next to the comments. What’s going on? I checked out other WordPress blogs and others have the same issue it seems.
-
I saw the other post about this issue but mine is still unresolved. I have checked my website on Internet Explorer and the issue does not occur there but I primarily use Mozilla Firefox and the issue is still there.
-
Yes, but are you using the same theme, K2Lite? The other thread is:
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=10418&page&replies=7
for reference.And have you sent a feedback?
-
I am using the Regulus theme. I have sent both feedback and a question for support but have yet to hear back.
-
Can you give us a link to the blog in question? It’s really hard to intuit answers when we can’t actually see the blog.
-
I absolutely do not see “edit Post” at all, nor “edit comments”. Have you signed out, cleared your cookies and internet cache, and looked at your blog without signing in? It might already be fixed is what I’m thinking.
-
I have done all those things and it it still present. Even worse, the readers have noticed. I using Mozilla Firefox. I’ve noticed the issue isn’t present on I.E.
-
That would explain why I can’t see it. Expect Mark in Support to deal with it overnight; he’s on UK time.

Depends how complicated it is. I can tell you he’s very conscientious and pretty speedy.
They can’t actually edit your posts, though, can they?
-
No, they cannot. But it’s appearances that count. And with posters reporting they “can” edit posts, it is a little testing of my patience. Of course, they cannot but readers will be under the impression that they can… not good.
-
I would trust in Support to deal with this promptly, like by tomorrow morning New York time. Especially now, with the death of your competition, your stats will lend some weight to your request I would think. I’m not staff, but surely they’ve got to be slightly glory-minded, right?

It is a strange one, at first I didn’t see it…..then tried to edit a comment, and couldn’t. The important thing is that we (the public) cannot edit comments others have made.
I’d suggest putting a note on your blog, possibly as a landing page explaining that “the “edit” can be seen until support fixes it, but it is not an issue and will be resolved ASAP”.
At the very least you won’t have lots of helpful people telling you about it, and it’ll reassure them that it’s a cosmetic detail and not a security breach……when it’s sorted, you can easily delete that info page.
