Merged Sometimes users get: "You do not have permissions to access this page"

The original topic says "sometimes users getting 'you do not have permissions to access this page'". Your new topic in effect says the same thing: under certain conditions, "users getting 'you do not have permissions to access this page'". Have you resolved the question you asked about in msg #1 of this topic? Can you explain in what way, specifically, the question you asked in msg #1 of this topic is different to the question you have asked in msg #4 of this topic.

Thank you.

I have Access denied showing in Search Engine Bots Logs. (J4age Statistice plugin)
On both my forums - Different Domains

Kunena seems to randomly tack the below to the ends of some of the urls on the forum.

---

/list.html
/credits.html

---

Examples below

forum/our-welcome-mat-is-out-for-all/63-funny-fishing-bloopers-with-bill-dance/list.html (Access denied)
forum/our-welcome-mat-is-out-for-all/63-funny-fishing-bloopers-with-bill-dance.html (Currect url)

forum/20-tackle-and-knots/credits.html (Access denied)
forum/tackle-and-knots.html (Currect url)

---

I Also noticed incorrect urls as below.
forum/6-
forum/20-

forum/6-outdoor-activities/credits.html (Access denied)
forum/outdoor-activities-forums.html (Currect url)

Did you read Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) ? How have you setup your Kunena menu? Have you considered giving us some information about your website? Have you read the FAQs page?

Hi Sozzled.
I have read the SEO, and have all settings correct as indicated from my post.

I also made a reference to a Free Joomla plugin that you can install, to check to see if this is happening to your own sites.

J4age Statistics plugin

The randomness of the Access denied, can be pulled from its stats.

You will see quite quickly, if Access denied is occuring on your site.
J4age shows very detailed accounts of all hits on your site, from Guests, Members and search bots, the paths they take and all pages viewed and errors incurred.

As Requested, two of my sites below that are showing Access Denied in the logs.
Australian Art Forum
Camping and Caravan Forum

I am not particularly interested in j4age - which is still in beta testing - because I do not know what it does or how it relates to ordinary users receiving "you do not have permissions to access this page" messages. Let us focus on what we do know, please:

(1) I need to see the configuration report of one website that has this problem, please.

(2) I need to see one example of a working URL that results in "access denied". In other words, something we can click.

(3) I need to see a screenshot of the Permissions tab of the category that relates to (2) above.

Can you do these things for us please?

Hi Sozzled

This Problem is much more widespread than you think. If the search engines are not able to list our forums correctly, this becomes a MAJOR PROBLEM. (107,000 examples showing on Google for Kunena)

Please Use the program I suggested, It will allow you to check your forum logs (Even though the program is still Beta)

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Do a search on Google or Bing. (I used Kunena as an example, so you can check the Kunena forum.)
