Free Version. I am the author and can’t view my posts!

    To begin with: I was current with the latest version when I noticed I couldn’t view my own posts on my site. I double-checked settings for the post, for the categories it was in, etc, and they all seemed good, but I couldn’t view my posts.

    I purged my cache plugin, still couldn’t view my posts.

    I cleared my browser’s temp files, still can’t view my posts.

    I rolled back to the original install in October 2023 and STILL can’t view my posts.

    I disabled your plugin AND STILL can’t view my posts!!! I am the administrator of the site and should be able to view my posts when logged in, but even those posts I created where someone not logged in should be able to view them are not viewable when I log out!

    How do I return my posts and categories to wordpress default viewing after using your plugin? I need to ensure that a handful of posts are viewable to the outside world. I was using your plugin to also create a community-only blogging system that wasn’t viewable to the outside world, but when I can’t view any post whether I’m logged in or not, that’s a problem. I CAN edit posts however, I just can’t view them on the front end.

    Hi @songdove. Thanks for using PublishPress Permissions. After all the troubleshooting you’ve done, what leads you to think the issue is with this plugin? Our plugin won’t impact your site once it’s disabled.

    Have you tried applying this troubleshooting to other plugins you have installed?

    Due to your plugin changing the permalink structure for posts, that is why I think it’s your plugin. However, updating the permalink structure to something other than your plugin’s permalink structure, still is not letting me view my posts even after I removed your plugin, because your permalink structure is still in use somehow! This is on a live site, so hence why I’m a bit ticked over this. I will now have to do the whole “disable all plugins and re-enable one by one” until the site is back to where it should be AND I can view my own posts! This is seriously a step too many developers fall back on, and their work should NOT be impacting other developers’ creations like that, but it appears that somehow, they do. All plugins should be in their own spaces, but they aren’t or this step would not be necessary. So much for quickly sharing a link to a post I’d written. This will take the rest of the day to do properly, hoping everything returns to working order before I can share.

    Hi @songdove. Thanks, please let us know what you find.

    Our plugin does not change the permalink. Is it possible you have our plugin confused with another one?

    Yes that is possible. Working on that discovery right now. If it’s another plugin used to create community-only blog writing access to community members, we’ll find out. I was using two plugins to do this task, the other one to give front-end blog-writing access to community members, and yours to ensure their posts were only seen by community members.

    Ok, so it was that other plugin. Weird. . . yours is reinstalled and working fine. I need to find another plugin to replace the one that broke. Posts written while the other plugin was installed are still protected for community members, so that’s a good thing.

    That’s good to hear, thanks @songdove
