Anonymous mode not working

Seems like it might happen if the shadowed user has never posted anything?

app/services/anonymous_shadow_creator.rb

main


      
          
          def get
            return unless user
            return unless SiteSetting.allow_anonymous_mode
            return if !user.in_any_groups?(SiteSetting.anonymous_posting_allowed_groups_map)
            return if user.suspended? || !user.active?
            return if SiteSetting.must_approve_users? && !user.approved?
          
            shadow = user.shadow_user
          
            if shadow && (shadow.post_count + shadow.topic_count) > 0 && shadow.last_posted_at &&
                 shadow.last_posted_at < SiteSetting.anonymous_account_duration_minutes.minutes.ago
              shadow = nil
            end
          
            shadow || create_shadow!
          end
          
          private
          
          def create_shadow!
