[wp-hackers] Universal Edit Button

[Stephen Rider]

You should wrap it in a conditional -- the link only makes sense on  
single posts or pages.  Thus:

function ueb_add_head_link() {
     if( is_single() || is_page() ) {
         global $post;
         switch ($post->post_type) {
                case 'attachment':
                        return;
                case 'page':
                        if( !current_user_can( 'edit_page', $post- 
 >ID ) ) return;
                        break;
                case 'post':
                default:
                        if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post- 
 >ID ) ) return;
                        break;
         }

         echo '<link rel="alternate" type="application/x-wiki"  
title="Edit this page" href="' . get_edit_post_link($post->ID) . "\" /> 
\n";
     }
}
