Description

Description

If the user chooses to view their own site, each post within it will have a footer with information such as the author name, and the data published. The last part of the footer will be an edit icon with no text. Tapping this icon has no function.

On web the edit icon is present with the text “Edit” next to it. Tapping this text will allow the user to edit that post.

Reproduction Rate

4/4 100%

Expected behavior

Either the edit button should be function when tapped, or having matching text “edit” which allows the user to edit their post.
Or the edit button should be removed as the functional text link is not present on mobile.

Actual behavior

An edit icon is present with no function.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  1. Launch Wordpress wpandroid-14.1-rc-1-universal.apk
  2. Log into an account which has at least one site and one or more post.
  3. Tap View Site.
  4. Observe the edit icon as the end of the footer in any post.
  5. Attempt to interact with the edit icon.
Tested on
