Hello. Thanks for your work on this plugin! I find this plugin is really good if a website has basically gone 99-100% Elementor for post and pages. My issue is that there are many cases where I have an Elementor template specifically set up to support the default WordPress editor for blog posts. I noticed that when a logged-in admin/editor views a Post from the frontend they do not get an "Edit Post" link and the "Edit with Elementor" link is not clickable (as expected). But this is a little inconvenient for users as they must access those WordPress editors from the backend only. Not the end of the world but a UX hiccup as that adds 2 clicks. There could be some conditional logic to correct that and display "Edit Post" if not an Elementor Edited post, else not-displaying "Edit Post" when using Elementor. The same holds true for Page types. Ultimately my choice to use this tool is based on a story of providing blog authors ease of use and thus improved UX as they go about their business of writing and editing blog posts.

When I have more time I hope to provide a PR with some possible updates but figured the issue report couldn't hurt as a first step. Thanks again.

Running into this exact same issue! It would be fantastic to see this fixed!

@acal were you able to create a fork of this with the link reappearing in the top bar?
