Any way to allow a user to edit their own entry?

    So, the use case for my website and this plugin would be a lot better if a WordPress user could edit their own entry, but not add it, and not add or edit other entries.

    I can’t seem to find any information on this so here I am.

    Example:
    User joins WordPress website, gets approved, an entry gets auto-created for that user with everything blank or with default fields set in settings, that user can then edit their entry and only their entry so they can update their own entry as needed without the need for admin input. Would probably be a good idea to have a setting that can be checked to make edits to a specific users entry require moderation and/or have a “probation period” where all edits must be approved via moderation until a set time period or other factor is up.

    To register WP Users, you can use the built-in WordPress registration workflow.

    First, you must enable User Registration. You can find this option on the WordPress General Settings admin page. It is named “Anyone can register”.

    After that option is enabled users can register on the WordPress new user registration page:

    https://yourdomain/wp-login.php?action=register

    Replace yourdomain with your website name—for example, mysite.com.

    Alternatively, you can use any of the many third-party plugins available to add a custom WP User registration page.

    After you have set up your desired WP User registration process, you can use the Link addon to allow your registered WP Users to add and edit their directory entry with or without moderation. Here’s the link to the addon:

    To allow registered WP Users to maintain their directory entry from the site’s frontend (instead of their directory entry admin profile page which is similar to the WP USer admin profile page, but for their directory entry), you will also need the Form addon. Here’s the link:

    I hope this helps; please let me know.
