Login Menu Choice as Guest Not Appearing Topic is solved

[gsmela]

Hello. I’m trying to troubleshoot a menu item on a J5.1.0 site that had been migrated from J3, then J4.

In the past, the site had a Login form menu item set as Guest for access with a Logout item set as Registered. And of course it worked so you only saw the “Login” if you weren’t logged in and the “Logout” if you were logged in.

Now, the Login item doesn’t appear in the menu unless it is set as “Public.” I’ve tried creating new menu items set for Guest access and they don’t appear either. What am I missing! Thank you.

Per, thank you!

I can’t believe I missed that setting. I don’t recall having to explicitly set that in previous versions… it always just worked. In any event it is something I’m aware of now.
