    I have added a front end submission page to my site and it looks like it works well - but the when the user logs in and tries to edit the post on the front end - it doesn't seem to keep the data that they have previously add to the form - is this correct?

    It is going to be a really long form so I want them to be able to submit the post and come back and continue to fill it in/edit it at a later time

    Hi,

    Please try to increase the PHP setting max_input_vars and re-check this issue. Refer to this article https://metabox.io/wordpress-custom-fields-not-saving-increase-max-input-vars/

    Let me know how it goes.

    I have increased it as you have asked - but it's nit the issue - as the fields save - they are in the post on the back end - just don't seem to be there on the front end in the user dashboard - I click the pencil to edit and it looks like a new form - I want the user to be able to edit the post

    I can give you back end access if it will help

    on the frontend user dashboard - on the post list it says - Your list posts ! Once published, you can no longer edit a post.

    can I change this?

    thanks

    I have just realised that this is using a custom post type called Gardens and it seems to be only showing posts - can I get the front end dashboard to show these - or does it only show posts

    I have solved it - it was not listing the custom post type - search your docs and found out how to do that - thank you for your help anyway

    regards
