Private Id links not working

You need to set up a page for your record edits. Put the [pdb_record] shortcode there and in the settings, under the “Record Form” tab, set the “Participant Record Page” to your page with the record shortcode.

What was happening is without being properly configured, the edit link was going back to the signup page, so it was creating a new record when you submitted that form.

Hi, I did what you said and updated the settings. But please see the links in the first post again. It is still creating a new blank record in both the Admin interface and user record list detail. I am using the latest WordPress version, could this be some kind of incompatibility? I have disabled all other plugins, the issue remains. Thank you so much again.

Hi, something so weird happened. This morning I deleted the pdb-list-default.php file from the template directory under my theme and re-did everything described here all over again just to be sure: https://xnau.com/adding-an-edit-record-link-to-the-frontend-list/. Then I closed Chrome and used Internet Explorer to view my site, the records to edit displayed correctly and just fine. I was so happy for a very short while. Then I closed Explorer and re-opened it, to my horror i saw that the records to edit were showing blank again. They are showing always blank on Chrome. Please be reassured this is not a simple browser cache problem, I cleared the browser settings hundreds of times. Thank again for your concern.

Well, I checked it out and everything seems fine. Records are listing correctly. Edit links are working properly. Maybe I need something more specific to look for.

It worked a while ago for me, right now it is not working again! Please try now. If you try several times in a row or logout, login again and try again, the edits sometimes work and sometimes not. Sounds very weird I know, but please do try and see. I deleted every other plugin, so what on earth could be causing such erratic behavior? I deactivated and reactivated your plugin, still showing new records instead of the record to edit (for now), what more can I do?

Just checked, still does not work from my end, still creating new empty records instead of the record to edit…

I just tested it several times…worked in all cases.

When you click on an edit link, try doing a hard refresh on the edit page, see if it gives you the record edit page instead of the new record form.
