Forum posts not visible to guests after recent update
Quote from mikasabaggins on November 13, 2025, 3:34 amHi everyone,
After updating to the latest version of Asgaros Forum, I noticed that forum posts are no longer visible to guests, even though I’ve set the permissions to “Public.” Logged-in users can see everything normally, but guests only see empty categories. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a new setting or cache that needs to be cleared after the update? Retro BowlThanks in advance for any help!

Since logged in users can still view the content, this issue is specifically related to how the site displays content to unauthenticated users as guests. Check Permissions and Clear Cache.

Try resetting the forum permissions under Asgaros Forum → Permissions by re-saving them, then clear any caching layers (WordPress cache plugin, server cache, Cloudflare, etc.).
Also check Asgaros Forum → Settings → Appearance and make sure ‘Hide content from guests’ is disabled.
After clearing caches, guests should see the posts again.
