Hidden User Fields

Customization Theme component

My Antigravity with Gemini 3 Pro High found the root cause:

Root Cause Identified: The group

L2_verified

exists and

Alex_1

is a member,BUTthe group’sVisibility Level is set to 4(Staff/Owners only).

Because of this restrictive setting, Discourse does not tell the browser that

Alex_1

is a member of this group (unless he is also Staff/Admin). Therefore, the Theme Component checks the list, doesn’t find

L2_verified

, and keeps the field hidden.

Fix:

  1. Go to Groups → L2_verified → Manage → Interaction.

  2. Change Who can see this group? to “Members” or “Everyone”.

  3. Save.

  4. Refresh as

    Alex_1

    (non-admin). It should now work!

But it’s not a workaround for now - most of our groups are hidden from everyone:(
