Remove 'edit this form' link

  1. I have built a form and published it on my site, but when you view it there is an 'edit this post' hyper-link at the bottom. This link takes the user into the GF editing area of Wordpress!!

    How can I remove this link and is it standard?

  2. That only shows if you're logged in as an Admin user. Log out and you'll see that it doesn't display.

  4. Why have it there anyways? It's messing up the styles of the site I'm working on with a side slider.

    I don't want any users to see this later on anyways. Can this be removed?

  5. @rjksn Why? Because it follows default WordPress conventions. When you are on a page or post using default WordPress themes there is an Edit link to Edit that post or page. We added the Edit link for the forms to mimic this default functionality.

    If you don't want it there you would have to use CSS to set it's container to display: none;. There isn't currently a built in option to disable it. We can add that in a future release. Users wouldn't see this link, only Admins with form editing capabilities see this link.

  6. Carl,

    I also think this option should be added. I'm going to use css to set the display to none, but it's not something I would like my technologically challenged clients the opportunity to edit. When I give them a wordpress site, I remove all of the back-end menu items that they don't need. I don't like giving them that much control.

  7. I'm sure we'll add a filter to remove this in a future version for those who really don't want it there. For now, hiding the link with CSS is the best option.
