# Remove Edit Link

**Download**:
[Remove Edit Link Extension 1.0](https://tablepress.org/download/extension/tablepress-remove-edit-link.zip?output_format=md)

Users who are logged-in into WordPress, and who have the necessary access rights
to edit a table, will see a small “Edit” link below every table that is shown on
the site. This link allows them to get to the “Edit” screen very quickly. At the
same time, users who are not logged-in (like regular site visitors) or users without
sufficient access rights will never see this link, as they are not allowed to edit
tables.

However, some people still want to remove the “Edit” link for all users, including
themselves. That’s what this Extension does. To use it, just install and activate
it like a regular WordPress plugin. After that, no user will see an “Edit” link 
below a table. (Don’t forget that this will not prevent them from editing tables!
They can still go to the “Edit” screen via the WordPress Dashboard. To prevent users
from editing tables, you’ll need to remove the [corresponding access capability from their user role](https://tablepress.org/faq/access-capabilities-user-permissions/),
e.g. with a plugin like [Members](https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/).)

If this Extension is useful for you, please check out the available [TablePress Premium features](https://tablepress.org/modules/)
and consider getting a [Premium license plan](https://tablepress.org/pricing/), 
which bring even more features for you and your site visitors. Thank you!
