I find it very useful to have edit link in the footer on frontpage. It helps you editing posts and pages. You don’t have to go to backoffice and navigate searching for given post. The only thing you have to do when you want to edit your post (misspelling, corrections..) is to click EDIT link at the bottom of it and you can edit it right away.
Can you (developers) add this kind of feature here to Vantage theme?
Hi teedee,
We actually left these out of Vantage because the admin bar should have the edit button you’re after. This was the main reason I decided to leave them out of the actual page.
Can you see the edit links in your admin bar?
Thanks Greg for hint.. it’s kind of way to get it but I prefer not to use admin bar because it looks ugly.
Edit link visible only for authorized users would be better.
This is the way Nirvana theme I use on some sites does it and I like it.
Is there any problem with such functionality? Placing Edit link at the bottom of a post, doesn’t break any view for not-logged visitors anyway.
Even though it would be redundant link, I believe that it is not a mistake. Redundant links/features are not bad unless they create a mess and it is not a case here.
Hi teedee
This unfortunately isn’t available in Vantage, as Greg mentioned.
This is possible if you’re keen to jump in at a code level. It would involve a fair amount of effort though, you’d need to use a child theme:

You’d need to copy content-single.php and content-page.php from the parent theme into the child theme and then insert the following:
In content-single.php that should be inserted on line 45 and on content-page.php on line 30.
Thank you Andrew. I will consider both options (admin bar and php)
For sure.
