I noticed on the login screen, that it tells guests to view the FAQ but it forces them to login to do so. How can I change it so that guests can see the FAQ?
I can't find settings in the Settings tab, the Guest Usergroups, or the FAQ settings. :confused:

When you follow:

AdminCP -> Settings -> Navigation Manager -> Forum -> FAQ (Edit)

What do you have for "Show Permission Name?"

Try disabling the plugin system and see what happens...if a logged off user still cannot view the FAQ, then you know a plugin is not the issue, but if that solves the problem, then you know a plugin is the issue.

Well, ok - I went to settings, plugin/hook system, and disabled it.
Logged out and went back to the home screen, clicked FAQ, still asks me to log in.

Okay, well at least now we know it's not a plugin causing the issue.

Have you tried your default style in case it is caused by a template hack?

There are no permission checks on the default FAQ - so what page is the link pointing at ?

@Mark, I tried a different skin to see if that does anything - it acts the same way..
@Paul, it's just pointing to the domain/faq.php - but it has the login prompt on the main screen instead of the faq page content..

As I said, the FAQ has no permission checks (e.g. http://php.vbtest.org/4xa/faq.php).

So I dont know how you are getting that, other than a modification.

Did you modify any of the files on the site? Can we get a link to the FAQ?

Well I didn't install any additional plugins, didn't modify anything myself either, it's vanilla 4.2.3 PL1.

Guests aren't able to view the forum at all. That is probably your issue.
