Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
TheGreyWizard Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 At some point I changed permissions on my articles page while I was awaiting approval to use them. Everything is good now with using the articles, but I can't seem to find the right area to re-adjust the permissions so browsing guests are able to view them as well - I looked every and found a few areas to change them, but all seem to be set accordingly, yet the articles page is completely blank when browsing as a guest? https://www.ohiocannabis.com/articles/ Thanks.

TheGreyWizard Posted April 9, 2016 Author Posted April 9, 2016 Here is a screenshot of the current settings - does everything look right? Where else should I check the permissions to get the articles page to show up to guests?
opentype Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Looks okay. Next thing to check would be the permissions of each field.
TheGreyWizard Posted April 9, 2016 Author Posted April 9, 2016 What do you mean by each "field" and where would I find the permissions for these fields to check/change them? Thank you.
TheGreyWizard Posted April 13, 2016 Author Posted April 13, 2016 Still can't figure out how to get the articles to show for visitors - perhaps I should email support?
steve00 Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Likely you have but did you check permission for the actual page
TheGreyWizard Posted April 13, 2016 Author Posted April 13, 2016 Yes everything seems to be in order with the pages permissions to: I'm totally stumped. I did submit a ticket to IPS so hopefully they can pin point the issue. This is only an issue for visitors/guests it seems as when I am logged in I see them with no problem. Thanks for trying though guys.

TheGreyWizard Posted April 13, 2016 Author Posted April 13, 2016 Even the Content>database permissions seem to be in line: Odd you mention that because on my "Home" Page I have an article stream block and if you click on one of the article titles when not logged in it brings you to this screen: But once again if you're logged in it brings up the page just fine from the article stream feed block
TheGreyWizard Posted April 13, 2016 Author Posted April 13, 2016 Hmm this is odd, I just created a test account with only regular user permissions and I am unable to see the articles and having the "could not locate item" error message - it seems I can only view them when I am logged in as AdminCP? So is there a place where I must have allowed permissions only for myself/Admin?
opentype Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 That’s a completely different problem. “Could not locate” hasn’t anything to do with permissions. But anyway, you have a ticket open anyway. It should be much easier to resolve by someone with admin permission instead of us guessing what is going on without being able to see the actual content.
TheGreyWizard Posted April 13, 2016 Author Posted April 13, 2016 Ok well thanks for trying to help. I'm sure IPS will pinpoint it pretty fast, they're great.
