Hi community,
I am having an issue where I cant edit another user’s custom post submission.
When I got to the WordPress Editor signed in as the admin I can edit my own posts…but when I click on someone else’s post the Update button is dimmed. See the screenshot below:

I used a typical ACF Form with the code below to hand post submission if thats helpful.
<?php
$args = array(
// Whether the title should be displayed or not (true/false)
'display_title' => false,
// Whether the description should be displayed or not (true/false)
'display_description' => false,
// Text used for the submit button
'submit_text' => 'Submit',
// The URL to which the form points. Defaults to the current URL which will redirect and automatically display a success message after submission
// If this is overriden you may use af_has_submission to check for a form submission
// 'target' => CURRENT_URL,
// Whether the form output should be echoed or returned
'echo' => true,
// Field values to pre-fill. Should be an array with format: $field_name_or_key => $field_prefill_value
'values' => array(),
// Array of field keys or names to exclude from form rendering
'exclude_fields' => array(),
// Either 'wp' or 'basic'. Whether to use the WordPress media uploader or a regular file input for file/image fields.
'uploader' => 'basic',
// // The URL to redirect to after a successful submission. Defaults to the current URL which will display a success message after submission.
// 'redirect' => CURRENT_URL,
//
// // ID to use for form element. Defaults to form key.
// 'id' => FORM_KEY,
// Filter mode disables the success message after submission and instead displays all fields again with their submitted values.
'filter_mode' => false,
// 'label' to place instructions right below label or 'field' to place them after the field.
'instruction_placement' => 'label',
// Add a honeypot to prevent spam submissions. Enabled by default.
'honeypot' => true
);
advanced_form('form_XXXXXXXXXXX', $args);
?>
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I solved my own problem. Basically my Title was empty so WP wasnt allowing it to even show the option of saving. You must-have title in order to save so adding that in changed the state and allowed me to start Updating posts again.
