I created a Custom Post Type (donations) and I use Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) to dynamically add posts via a front-end form. All works, but when I view the posts from the admin area, the usual “quick action” links (Edit, Quick Edit & Delete) are missing. Only the option to view the post exists.
Not sure if this is an acf thing or a custom post type thing or even a permissions thing. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
