How to disable edit post option?
I have a WordPress LMS site, and the Tutor Instructor role can create posts as courses and these posts are custom post types called courses, and I want to disallow the Tutor Instructor to edit their courses after they publish them.
I saw this How to disable edit post option after period of time?
It doesn't work. I changed the role to Tutor Instructor and made it 1 hour but still not working, maybe because the post type is not in the code.
This is the frontend page from where the Tutor Instructor can click edit or delete, and the page will redirect him to the course builder to edit the link will be like this (https://**************.com/dashboard/create-course/?course_ID=13865).
div class=mycourse-footer
div class=tutor-mycourses-stats
?php echo tutor_utils()-tutor_price( tutor_utils()-get_course_price() ); ?
div class=course-actions
a href=?php echo esc_url( tutor_utils()-course_edit_link( $post-ID ) ); ?
class=tutor-mycourse-edit edit
i class=fal fa-pencil-alt/i?php esc_html_e( 'Edit', 'edumall' ); ?
