sound Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Our current articles setup - all articles submitted by members need to be approved a member submits an article the admin edits the article and schedules it to be published 24 hours later the admin then approves the article (this can only be done via the front end) though the article is still awaiting publishing and so should be still hidden after approval - it now shows to all but still has the 'clock' icon showing awaiting publication therefore it appears that when the admin 'approves' the article the system is setting the wrong permissions on the article causing it to show to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 What you are seeing is correct in terms of a clock icon showing, but it would only show to people who have access to view hidden items, and the author. If you believe this not to be the case, we would need an example item, user who can see it, and where they can see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
