Post Before Registering Not Working

[Unlucky]

We have just started a new site from scratch.

We have this selected - Allowed where member group can post

But when testing as a guest we cannot see either the reply to this topic button or the Join the conversation, You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account.

What other settings do we need to configure for this to work?

Many thanks

It will work where Members (or more specifically the member_group in conf_global.php) can post. Check the categories permissions.

Hi,

I think it is because clubs are the main focus of this site and the only forums are in the clubs.

I created a test normal forum and it works.

is there a way that this feature can work for forums created in clubs?

Thanks again

Good question. As I don’t use none of these two features, will wait for someone from IPS to reply.

It should actually work in any area that can be posted to by a member. The club in question, can a member post to before joining?

No a member can't until he clicks the join club button.

once he has joined a club the start new topic button appears.

is there a setting to let members post in the club forum before joining a club?

That is the reason why guests cannot post in that club. A club needs to be a public club where people to not have to join in order to be able to be posted in using post before register, as it has to be something whereby an initial registering user would ordinarily be able to instantly post

Hi,

That makes sense however I have just made this club public but have the same issue:

Welcome to The Veveverse - Topics - Metaverse Fandoms

I believe Clubs were purposely excluded from Post Before Register because of the very unique permission sets that can be configured around Clubs.
