The word EDIT appears after the “posted in” list of each post

No no, only you (and logged in users with access to edit those posts) will see ‘Edit’ ??

Thanks for this. However, I just have to type my normal blog URL without logging in and the EDIT word comes up all the time.

You sure you’re not logged in? Unless you actively log out, you stay logged in.

If you want to share your URL, someone can take a look and confirm for you.

As Ipstenu says – it sounds like you haven’t logged out. hit ‘logout’ at the top your dashboard, then visit the front end.

Great, you were right. It is late here and I am obviously not thinking straight anymore. Thanks a lot.

Problem solved
