  Hi,
  I setup a private blog with a number of people who will all be authors. Initially I prepared Pages for each one with his/her biography and other information.
  I invite them all of them as authors and all of them registers as such.
  As they register to the Blog one by one, I am changing the author of the page describing this person to her/his user, so that he can add or modify the text.
  The “All Pages” list correctly shows the author of the relevant page as the intended uses, but the “Edit” link does not appear at the bottom of the page and thus they can’t edit. I am using the Koi template.
  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I just took a look at the front of your site and I see an Edit button at the bottom. Can you give me a link to the specific page where you’re having this problem?

  The blog is private. Here is a link to a “Page” http://meridyen7.org/ali-gunes/ I created this page as administrator. Than changed the author to user “alignns”. The user “alignns” has “author” rights. He reports there are not “edit” buttons

  Thanks for the clarification! Authors can not edit any pages, only their own posts:

  Author – can write, upload photos to, edit, and publish their own posts.
