Articles not showing up despite 'public' setting.

Post by amruth92 » Sat Jan 16, 2016 2:44 am

Hello! Apologies if I'm asking a very silly question. I have set the 'access' settings on all my menus and articles to 'public'. However, it appears that all articles can only be seen after logging in in the front end.

The 'guest user group' is also set to public, and all the language is set to "all".

The articles that have been created so far were written by superuser, and [if I'm getting the gist of this correctly], 'public' individuals do have viewing access for items written by 'special' individuals.

Is there anything I'm missing, and does anyone know how I could rectify this to make sure that posts show up without users having to log in?

Apologies, again, if this is a silly question :)

Have you checked the viewing access level of the category those articles belong to?

Morning, Toivo! Thanks for your response. Yup, checked that - all set to public, too.

Is the Public User Group set to "Guest" in the Options in User Manager?
