FAQ

Who can see the Quick Edit button?

Hello Labib! I do enjoy your QuickEdit conception, thank you for this plugin! ^_^ On the other hand I have an issue with permission Roles. The edit button appears only for users with „Administrator“ role and nobody else. Dunno why =\ Would you please consider implementing an option to delete Posts from the frontend too? Thank you for your great Work!
