Registered user only menu item showing to the public.

Post by Cremaster » Thu Aug 15, 2013 2:01 am

Hi,

Bit of a weird issue, possibly with a simple fix but one that is eluding me at the moment.

I have a menu item that I had showing only for registered users which for some reason is now showing to the public as well. While the most recent change to the site was the 2.5 upgrade I am not definite this was the cause.

I have tried deleting the menu item and recreating it from scratch but to no avail.

A search of this forum took me here;

http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=719&t=809277

But the problem seems to have a different cause.

I did do a debug to check out the access IN line as suggested by the post which reads "access IN (1,1,2,3,4)".

Am a little stumped as to where to go now.

Cheers,

Cre

Really strange.

Set both menu items to Special instead of Registered and now neither are showing to the Public as desired but only one shows up when I log in to the front end as an Administrator. Very random.

Try rebuilding the menu after any edits, that fixes most things for me.

Thanks ChasL,

Went to do just that but the problem appears to have resolved itself. Had cleared the cache to no avail and tried numerous other tweeks but all of a sudden it seems to now work as expected. Would love to have a more definitive answer on what did the trick but the main thing is that it functions.
