Hi,
This is a great plugin. Only there are a lot of problems with it since it is not updated in 2 years!!
Would be great if this plugin could get an update! Something with a simple iFrame would be great.

Hi,
When I close the Live Edit pane (without doing any edits) the original page slides back to the left (covering the Live Edit pane?).
But when I do edit something within the Live Edit pane and click ‘Update’ the page does get updated, but doesn’t slide back to the left and the space once occupied by the Live Edit pane stays white. In other words, I have to manually refresh the page to get it back in place.
How can I solve this?
(This happens on both Safari 9.0.3 and Chrome 48.0.2564.116 on OSX 10.10.5)
]]>I am posting this after I found the solution in case someone else is having the same problem. The plugin has a dependency that isn’t being loaded before the plugin causing the plugin to break for me. The solution was to tell WordPress that it has that dependency. To fix this, edit live-edit-v4.php or live-edit-v5.php depending on the version of ACF that you are using. Change line 74 from:
wp_register_script( 'live-edit-front', $this->settings['dir'] . '/js/functions.front.js', false, $this->settings['version'] );to:
wp_register_script( 'live-edit-front', $this->settings['dir'] . '/js/functions.front.js', array('jquery-ui-resizable'), $this->settings['version'] );Great work as always Eliot.
Is it possible to make this work on flexible content layouts also?
Perhaps the live_edit function could take a parameter of sub _field?
Thanks

After activating the plugin and adding the code: “<?php if(function_exists(“live_edit”)){ live_edit(‘post_title, repeater_field’); }?>” i am getting the following error
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function acf_filter_post_id() in C:\wamp\www\gp\wp-content\plugins\live-edit\live-edit-v4.php“
Kindly Assist.
]]>When you save content with Live Edit, it does not update the content of the page.
]]>I have been using the “Live Edit” plugin for quite some time now, and it makes things incredibly efficient; however, after updating to most recent version of WordPress, the updates are not going into affect. I am capable of making changes in the ‘text’, but neither the ‘visual’ panel will display properly nor are the changes reflected on my install upon clicking “update”, closing the side panel, and refreshing my browser. Please advise if anyone has experienced and resolved similar issues. Thank you.
]]>Love the plugin, but I’m having some trouble with the Visual/Text tabs. They don’t seem to be working, and only the Text view appears. This is fine for me, but not my clients with their limited knowledge of HTML. Any idea what could be causing this issue?
]]>Is it possible to make edit panel to act like popup (modal) instead of pushung content from left?
]]>Hi,
i would like to ask, is there a way to use this plugin together with google script included?
i am using this script for my slider //ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js
but if i include this script, your plugin did not work, no edit button appears.
Thanks
]]>The live edit works fine with administrators but we do not find how a user logged in as author, and is the author-owner of the post, cannot edit it. The owner can see the edit button but when we click it the left panel opens the home page.
We are trying these options but they do not work:
<?php if ($post->post_author == $current_user->ID): ?>
<div <?php live_edit('post_title, post_content'); ?>></div>
<?php else: ?>
<?php endif ?>The owner has to be administrator to get the left panel as edit page.
Any suggestions?
]]>Hi,
is it also possible to edit the post_thumbnail with live-edit?
Thanks!

Hi,
I’m interested by your plugin but I don’t understand the instructions at all even with the video.
What I have to add exactly and where once the plugin is installed?
I just need it for 1 acf field for the moment.
I use a premium theme and my page is a lot different than the one of the basic wp theme. I have a page named “single-content.php” I think that’s the one I need to modify but after it I’m completely lost.
]]>Elliot,
I noticed in your github repository in the plugin file live-edit.php you reference a version number.
I notice that 4 is placed there, but there’s also a php file for version 5.
I didn’t see a plugin options page, but assumed it was okay to put 5 in for version in that file.
Is that cool? Was that meant to be updated or put into an option page for selection?
]]>Unless I’ve done something wrong, that is…
Plugin executes without issue, and renders the
Editbutton. for each post on my archive page. When clicked, it slides out the live edit panel (per the plugin’s walkthrough video) but alas! The panel only shows the post’s title and anUpdateandCancelbutton. There’s no option to edit any of the ACF fields or update the post’s title or content as described!
<span <? live_edit('post_title, post_content') ?>></span> to main blog archive templatehome.php template per Reading Settings→?Use Static Pagefunctions.phpGreat plugin! Only two problems emerge for me, that do not match the video. The first one is that the after pressing update the alterations do not show up directly on the page… only after a refresh. Another one is that after pushing update the editing pane goes to a ‘page not found’ because it adds the folder of the wordpress install to the url.
So in stead of pointing to https://www.yourwebsite.com/wordpress/ etc etc
It points to https://www.yourwebsite.com/wordpress/wordpress/ etc etc
I couldn’t find other mentions of the same problems, but I’ve tried it in a clean install with the same results.
Can you help?
]]>We are using this plugin to allow users to log in and edit custom posts from the front-end that function as their user profiles.
The problem we are having is that some users drag out the panel to be very wide. When other users log in, the panel stays the same size, and sometimes it’s so wide that they can’t see the “Update” and “Close” buttons on the right, and can’t resize the panel because it extends beyond their browser window, even at full screen.
Seems like it would be better if changes to the panel width did not persist between different user logins.
Thanks!
]]>Hi guys,
I always deregister jQuery to include all my JS files in the footer.
Right now the plugin doesn’t specify any dependency when registering the scripts.
It could be a great idea to add it to avoid any conflict.
Line 73 to 75 :
wp_register_script( 'live-edit-admin', $this->settings['dir'] . '/js/functions.admin.js', array('jquery'), $this->settings['version'] );
wp_register_script( 'live-edit-front', $this->settings['dir'] . '/js/functions.front.js', array('jquery'), $this->settings['version'] );Amazing plugin by the way.
]]>So this thread was closed by moderator but bug is still there!!
So a post with some ACF are ok… but some days later I think that would be nice to add a new field… so I add the new fieldh on ACF.
This works like a charm on the WP backend, but in live-edit I have a field without label and when I try to save the field Then nothing is saved; and then trying again live-edit I get the same error… no field label and input field without data…
to fix this you can edit each post with the native WP backend (http:/exemple.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=149&action=edit)…. edit and save and then live-edit will work… but what if we have 500 poasts/pages ????
save each post, one by one ?
Any ideas ?
thanks

Hello,
This is a great plugin but there are some times when we have a role without the capability “edit_posts” but this role will have another capability like “edit_foobar”… leaving “edit_posts” to that role will be undesirable.
So I think that this would be a nice extra feature if you can add it to the plugin…
I did some modification and this seems to works :
live-edit-v4.php
https://pastebin.com/R1SNTtsQ
The lines that I edited where 131
$slug = add_options_page(__("Live Edit Panel",'live-edit'), __("Live Edit Panel",'live-edit'), "read", 'live-edit-panel', array($this, 'panel_view'));
instead:
$slug = add_options_page(__("Live Edit Panel",'live-edit'), __("Live Edit Panel",'live-edit'), "edit_posts", 'live-edit-panel', array($this, 'panel_view'));
And finally I’m testing the capabilities on the function panel_view.
So I added on line 368 the next code :
$post_id = $options['post_id'];
$post_type = get_post_type($post_id);
$post_type_details = get_post_type_object( $post_type );
$post_type_cap = reset($post_type_details->capability_type);
if( !current_user_can( "edit_".$post_type_cap, $post_id ) )
{
wp_die( __("You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.") );
}So whit this method the user and/or role can edit only what he can edit (no more not less)
]]>Hi I can’t seem to get the page to scroll once the edit button is pressed. The backend iframe scrolls fine but the frontend area being edited doesn’t scroll down at all so you cant see what you are editing making it impossible to see your edits unless you close the toggled backend.
The issues is caused by the plugin css disabling scroll on the frontend I’m not exactly sure what the reason for this is. But for anyone else frustrated with this issue here’s what I did if you don’t want to edit the main plugin:
function fix_live_edit_overflow_hidden() {
?>
<style type="text/css">
html.live-edit-active {
overflow: scroll!important;
}
</style>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_head', 'fix_live_edit_overflow_hidden');Would be cool if were responsive. Maybe that’s what’s suppose to happen, not sure exactly…
Anyone else have issues with this?
]]>It would be awesome to have the ability to edit repeater fields and flexible content on an individual row basis.
Thanks!
]]>Hi,
I’ve run into a little bug after updating Live edit to version 2.1.2.
The edit button is removed after updating.
So I press the edit button, the edit screen opens. I edit the fields, press update, the page is updated, but the original edit button is removed in the process. So if I close the edit screen I need to refresh the page to be able to edit it again.
Anyone else experiencing this?
]]>We’ve noticed that the LiveEdit panel doesn’t close correctly anymore.
When the Close button is clicked, it slides off to the side (as per usual) but the width is immediately re-entered into the iframe causing a blank panel to stay on the side of the screen.
We’ve tried removing the width from the panel in the element inspector but javascript seems to re-input it immediately afterwards.
All the best, let us know if we can help with screen grabs or any testing.

]]>Love the simplicity of this plugin.
How would I move the edit button to another part of the page, or more accurately into a sentence.
Thanks M
]]>Hi, this is a good plugin, but I’m wondering if it can be used in frontend for everybody, not only admin or logged in users. Thanks in advance.
]]>Does this plugin work on WP Multisite? I have used it a number of times on single installs, but I can’t seem to get it working on a multisite install.
