Solved – Forum has 2 categories, but only 1 is visible to users not logged in

Picture attached.

Second category is not displayed for non-logged in users.

Forum is set to be visible to everyone. I’ve checked and unchecked the box already to confirm.

Ideas on how to fix?

For future reference for anyone, I did not know this, but on the dashboard, under structure, each category (next to the title) shows whether this is to be viewed by everyone or logged in users only. A button to the right lets you change this.
So you can have a main setting for all the categories to be visible, but hide some individually.

Makes perfect sense!

Hello riseagainst

Yes, in the structure administration you can change the access-settings for categories again on an individual basis. I am glad to you could solve this issue already. Sorry for the late response!

As riseagainst mentioned: I do not see the “button to the right”..

In Category (blue) line i see (bold) title and (ID:…) and to the right “Delete category – Edit category”.

I need usergroups, but all forum categories must be visible to all even noty logged in users.

In category the access is set to anybody.

I have a few usergroups which only must define who can add / edit a topic.

Hello @cknspd

At the moment you can only define via usergroups who haveĀ access to certain categories so they are not displayed anymore to other users which are not a part of those groups. I plan to add individual permission/access rules in a future update but it will be not in the very near future.

Hi Asgaros,

Thanks for reply.

Ok, I understand that if Usergroups are defined and at least 1 is checked (active) for a Category, this category is only visible for logged-in users with that usergroup(s) checked in their WP-profile.

For the moment I updated the code to show categories and topics when using usergroups even if not logged in.
