Owners can't edit their own questions/answers: Template.php:165, 169, 181 and 186 are missing get_the_ID()

Seems like in Template.php, when evaluating if a user can edit a specific question/answer, the post_id is not being passed, returning always false.

Please let me know detail about this question, you can send me username & password of your site for further checking.

Why would you need my username & password?

THE BUG:

When deciding if showing edit & delete buttons, you’re not checking if the user has permissions to edit or delete that specific question/answer, instead, you’re only checking if the user has general edit/delete permissions.

WHERE:

Template.php > dwqa_question_button_action()

HOW IS RIGHT NOW:

“`php
if ( dwqa_current_user_can( ‘edit_question’ ) ) {
…

if ( dwqa_current_user_can( ‘delete_question’ ) ) {
…
“`

HOW IT SHOULD BE:

“`php
if ( dwqa_current_user_can( ‘edit_question’, get_the_ID() ) ) {
…

if ( dwqa_current_user_can( ‘delete_question’, get_the_ID() ) ) {
…
“`
