Guests cant see any forums

Hello all

Ive just set up a fresh install of simple press. Try as I might, guests cant see any forums. Ive triple checked and the guest permissions are set to “read only”. Ive also tried “standard access” but still, when logged out, I cant see any groups or forums. I just get the “The requested group does not exist or you do not have permission to view it” message.

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

do you have a link to site?  no caching plugin, right?

Hi Papa

Ive had to disable the forum for a bit while some maintenance is done on the site.

However, yes, I was using a cache plugin. Is this a problem?

only in that you cannot cache the forum page – its dynamic in nature…  so on the options for the caching plugin, just tell it to ignore the wp page the forum is on… do it for each type of caching in use (ie w3tc)… and all will be well…  since we use internal caching, the plugins just get confused and display old data…  you can still use it on rest of site…

Understood Papa. Ill give that a go soon as the forum is re-activated and report back.

Thanks for your time. :)
