Allow users to delete submission-form-created posts from the front end

    I allow my users to submit posts from the front-end using a Gravity Forms post-submission form. Is there any way to let them delete their old posts without sending them into the WordPress dashboard?

    I have checked the support forums. The only relevant post I see is two years old (and says that front-end deletion is not possible). I'm hoping you've upgraded Gravity Forms to include this feature over the past two years.

  2. This feature is not included in Gravity Forms. However, there have been a couple 3rd party add-ons released which may do what you need:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/front-end-editor/

    Also, you may not need anything related to Gravity Forms at all. You just want a way to allow your users to delete their own posts. Something like this http://wpmu.org/how-to-add-a-delete-post-link-to-your-wordpress-posts/

    You may need to extend that to restrict this delete function to the specific user, rather than user's of a certain role or level.
