Unique Links for Editing Posts?

    I have a bunch of existing posts. (They’re a custom post type, but I don’t think that should matter, right?)

    I want to send people a URL to a form for updating that existing post, so each post would have a unique URL for it’s edit/update form. (The plan is to then email the specific links to the people responsible for updating that content. To clarify: The people receiving these links — and then clicking on them to complete the form, thereby updating the specified posts — won’t be logged in as users.)

    Am I correct that this plugin will enable this functionality? And if so, how do I set it up?

    I think it is possible, but I will need to take a look. Currently it requires a nonce, so that would make the link time sensitive. One way would be to send them to a page that has the edit link on it… Which would be created using the shortcode or template function.

    And you would need to set this to allow the public (non-logged in users) to update a post:

    add_filter('gform_update_post/public_edit', '__return_true');

    The above solution is the one I would use. I am not super interested in creating a method without the nonce. And nonces are time sensitive.
