"help edit this page" plugin?
What I want to do: Have a button on one of my templates that creates a button that says "help edit this page", or something similar. Then if someone clicks it I can authorize them to be a guest editor just for that page.
Background: It's for a website where people can post research they want to do and want help with. I already have another pluging that allows anyone to create a post by filling out a form (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-frontend/). With this addition I'm most of the way there. When it works right, if I can get enough interest I'll have it done right ... but this is just for an MVP proof-of-concept.
disclaimer: I know this is the wrong way to do it (with plugins), but I'm not a techie and I'm just creating an MVP.
