Forum not visible to logged out users (have tried the suggested solutions)
Quote from sweetchilli on June 25, 2021, 1:06 pmI am having trouble getting the forum to show to logged-out users and just get the message “You must be logged in to view this content.”
I have tried everything suggested in the other posts and can confirm:
- General: Hide Forum from logged out users is unchecked – screenshot attached.
- Features: Allow guest postings is unchecked – screenshot attached.
- Structure: The first category is set to Everyone – screenshot attached.
- I am not using any caching plugins. I have tried forced refresh and left the issue for several days.

I had a plugin with a content restriction filter that was preventing the forum from showing as expected. Disabling that option means that everything is now working exactly as expected.
