Frequently Asked Questions

Can I create new posts from frontend

Yes

Can I Edit my posts from frontend

Yes

Can I delete my posts from frontend

Yes

Can I upload photo/image/video

Yes

I am having problem with uploading files

Please check if you've specified the max upload size on setting

Why "Edit Post" page shows "invalid post id"?

This page is for the purpose of editing posts. You shouldn't access this page directly. First you need to go to the dashboard, then when you click "edit", you'll be redirected to the edit page with that post id. Then you'll see the edit post form.
