TypeError: Cannot read property '_id' of undefined in global variable id is not found in the helpers editIcon function

What view did you have this error?

Ensure you have the middleware in app.js file

app.use((req, res, next)=> { res.locals.user = req.user || null; next() })

Also, ensure all queries to MongoDB is async with await.
I forgot to put await when using async and it gave me the same error you have

the public story view file is showing the error
already used the app.use((req, res, next)=> { res.locals.user = req.user || null; next() }) in app.js file
