frontend editing not working was created by Tom Racine
I've installed k2 2.5.4 & I'm running joomla 2.5. I have two users setup and when I go to the front end I can add an item but I cannot edit and existing item. Existing items have "edit item" before the title. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Check your K2 user group permissions that the users belong to.

Well, I created a group called site owner for my superuser account and all permissions settings are set to "yes" but still no ability to edit in front end. I seem to recall reading about this somewhere ... joomlaworks google site perhaps ... but that was months ago.

I'm having the exact same problem. Looking at the source code for pages that should be editable:
Joomlart Forum Thread
That thread seems to indicate a problem with the classes not being called correctly. This is getting into realms a bit beyond me. Any ideas? Please Log in or Create an account to join the conversation.

Just to make sure its not something simple, in the k2 dashboard options there is a setting to turn front end editing on or off

Everything is enabled for front end editing as far as I can tell. I'm also using a rockettheme template. Actually I installed the latest template locally as it has specific styling for k2, but after adding an item I'm still not able to edit it. I'll post in the rockettheme forum also. I would really like to resolve this as I'm hoping to show others how to add & edit content.

Anyone else having this issue? I'm getting nothing from the Rockettheme forum.

From source:
Are you saying that the order of the script load could be the problem? I don't know what nonconflict mode means. Why would it impact the editing and not the adding? I looked in the forum archives and it seems that there were many posts about frontend issues but it wasn't clear to me how these issues were resolved.
Sorry I'm not a more advanced user, I do appreciate the help.

Okay there seems to be a solution on the Rockettheme forum.
www.rockettheme.com/forum/index.php?f=584&t=155996&p=771076&rb_v=viewtopic#p771076
For those who may be using a rockettheme template but are not currently a member (thus no forum access) do the following;
1. go to the template manager and select the default template
2. click on the "Advanced" tab
3. turn off the "Build Titles Spans" option.

I had the same problem and finally solved it.
When setting up my category in K2, in the Item View Options section I had set Title to Hide.
What I finally figured out is that the code for the front end Edit button is in the Title div. So since I had chosen not to show the Title, the edit button was also hidden.
All I had to do to get the Edit button to show up on the front end was set Title to Show.
Ultimately, I didn't want the title to show so I created a new template and moved the edit code outside of the Title div.
I hope this saves someone the head-banging I went through. It would be helpful if K2 would move that edit button outside of the Title div or at least include a tooltip for the Title option that says "If you hide this you won't be able to access the Edit button from the front end."
