Stop website visitors editing or unpublishing posts

How do I restrict website visitors from editing published posts? A small round edit icon appears next to every published post on the website which allows any visitor to archive, unpublish or delete. If they request to edit the posts then it requires login details.

I understand that the edit icon should appear if I am logged in as a user however at the moment it appears to all website visitors. There must be some 'permissions' I have overlooked, but I can't find where it is. Can you help?

Alternatively, I plan to manage blog posts in joomla, so is there an option to disable this feature completely?

Many thanks,
Hi Quentin Gadd,

I am sorry for the inconvenience caused. You have to disable the Moderation ability for the guest and public ACL by:
EasyBlog>ACL>Public>Moderation>Disable Moderate All Entries In Dashboard
Please refer this screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/mLjtheVK5D9h

Hope this helps

Hello, I had disabled both of these already - in fact everything in ACL public and guest is disabled.

Something else maybe?

You can simply add the information needed by edit your first post under Site Details or you can just include your site's access once at http://stackideas.com/dashboard/site rather than needing to keep adding them in your replies

Hi Quentin Gadd,

After a while finding the main issue that caused the public user can edit the post, it is come from your setting in Joomla global configuration where you have setting it wrongly. I have re-configure back the setting as it should be, and it works fine now
Please refer this screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/R54IY2kAn
Please have a look.

Have a nice day ahead

Hi Quentin Gadd,

I have inspected that your Joomla article that assigned on the menu was suddenly missing its category. I don't know how this effected even though I do not change anything on the article, and I am just re-configure your Public ACL of EasyBlog . However I already set up/resave the category and it works fine now. Please have a try.

Have a nice weekend Quentin Gadd
