opentype Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I have a strange problem with the Gallery. When I click the link to the Gallery app, it is (according to the browser URL bar) routing through an URL of the site visited earlier, before after some unusual wait time, arriving at the gallery index page. It’s a consistent issue I observed over the last couple of weeks. I already tried resetting the menu, turning off Cloudflare, deleting browser data, site cache and so on. But nothing helps. It’s only the gallery index that is affected. Anyone knows what could potentially cause this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim M Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Looks like it is attempting to go to your login page. Are there any rewrites or redirect on the server-level which would account for that? It does not seem to happen in other areas of your site which are authenticated so that is quite odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 As mentioned, it’s just a page visited earlier that shows there. It could also be any other page. I just use the default htaccess and I don’t have any have any customizations set up in the ACP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim M Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I would recommend trying this on an unmodified theme, disabling all third party add-ons, removing custom Javascript, etc.. I have a similar structure with gallery in a sub-menu and available only to logged in users but am not encountering this on the same version so disabling all these is the first step.

Marc Stridgen Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 What browser and OS are you on? Im not able to replicate this on your site when I am testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share Posted December 2, 2022 Safari. On Chrome I do not see the forwarding in the address bar, but the same awkward delay, so I assume the underlying issue exists there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opentype Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 As a test, I turned off friendly URLs entirely. Interestingly, I still see the same effect: Clicking the Gallery link: URL changes to some other URL: Finally and delayed arriving at the destination: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 Can someone from IPS please investigate this on my site? The fact that it happens with or without friendly URLs makes me confident it is coming from the software. Something in the URL processing or the processing of the gallery index seems to be faulty on this installation. It’s not happening on other installations on the same server. I also set a clean theme just in case. Steps to reproduce: login click a few links click the Gallery link (secondary navigation) Result: loading takes multiple seconds and Safari might show an URL forwarding through a previously visited URL Repeat views of the gallery index might not show the problem. But waiting a while or logging out and in again shows it again consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
