Question Cannot View Posts as Guests

I have been through the documentation, changed the variables multiple time, however, I cannot get to where I can view posts as a guest.

I looked through the forum, found a few references such as this;

www.kunena.com/forum/139-solved-or-prior...-but-not-write#26503
Which in turn led me to:
docs.kunena.com/index.php/Forum_Setup%2C...s_for_special_Groups

The Doumentation states this:

Public Read/Write
The Setting NO means: Guests may not write into the forums. They only can read them (presumed the other settings, that you will see later in this tutorial, allow this too)
The Setting YES means: Guests may write into the forums, without registration or log in (presumed the other settings, that you will see later in this tutorial, allow this too)
In order the settings of the option "Public Read/Write" take any effects, the option "Registered Users Only" must be set to NO

To that I chose NO (But have also tried Yes)

Public Access Level
The "Public Access Level" group consists of the Joomla Groups: Registerd, Author, Editor, Publisher. Additional you'll find here All Registered and Everybody.

Everybody means really everybody, it does not matter, if the person belongs to unregistered (guests), registerd, or to Public Access Level group or Admin Access Level group. With this setting a further choice in Admin Access Level has no effects.
Everybody can see this forum/category, but only if you have set furthermore Registered Users Only to NO.
All groups with the exception of Guests can write into this forum or category. To give Guests also the permission to write, you must set also Public Read/Write to YES.

I chose EVERYBODY on that option.

Admin Access Level
The "Admin Access Level" group consists of the Joomla Groups: Manager, Administrator, Superadministrator. Additional you'll find here Public Backend.

I tried Manager and Super Administrator there.


After so long... OKAY....

I have also tried ALL REGISTERED settings.
I can view subject but not messeges.

THANKS for any assistance!

Kunena Configuration > Registered Users Only = No

Hi Matias

That is the setting I have been using, yes, however, guests are still as of yet unable to view the posts.

I must admit it's driving me bananas. There must be something I am missing in my configuation of Kunena or its' forums or there is a quirk in my installation or a bug, perhaps.

I have tried the Public Read/Write on both settings. (Name change is NO but have tried yes as well).

The Forum (Twitterings) is set for:
Public Access Level: Everybody
Admin Access Level: Manager (Tried others)

The Kunena forum I have is here:
tommyray.net/index.php/forums

Most recent versions of Kenena and Joomla.

Looks like this is a SEF settings problem that is getting into your way.

What SEF component are you using?

The problem is that every subsequent page leads to a SEF URL that is hitting a 'Registered Users' only page in your main menu.

That error is actually coming from Joomla and not form Kunena.

First I would start turning off any SEF component you have installed to verify that everything works.
If that is the case give Joomla internal SEF a try. Kunena is fully integrated with it and it should work out of the box. We use it with the .htaccess feature.

Hope this helps!

Hi fxstein!

I'm not using any SEF Component, but did try turning off the Joomla! SEO setting for Search Engine Friendly URLs just in case. Nodda there also. No Apache mod_rewrite, but I chose Yes to Add suffix to URLs.

So nothing jumbling things up on the SEO and I am making use of the Joomla! internal settings for it.

You seem have some kind of component which outputs that login screen (ACL?).

Kunena never redirects users to login screen (at least not official version) -- it just shows a message for restricted access. Also credits page is redirected to login, so check other components if they restrict access..
