When categories is the first entry in top menu, anonymous visitors receive the login page on /, while /categories and /latest remain publicly accessible.

I can’t reproduce :thinking: Any other settings you have changed that might be related?

Thanks, @zogstrip for checking. No, nothing else changed. My workaround: latest is now first entry in “top menu”.

Does it work in safe mode ? Do you have plugins installed/enabled?

?safe_mode=no_themes does the same effect. I have approx. 15 plugins enabled: checklist, details, footnote, lazy videos, local dates, narrative bot, OpenID Connect, Poll, Presence, Solved, Spoiler altert, Templates and Topic Voting.

Thank you so much for paying attention to this issue. I will answer later, when I am able zu check it.

Hey, I discovered the same issue again. But I know one thing, that helps: I have to click on “update” in the admin settings, even if there is no change at all. That helps. There seem not to be any reason. Just a refreshed settings-database helps. But only for several minutes oder hours (max. 4). I d…

The issue isn’t solved, yet. What could I eventually do, to avoid it? The workaround can’t be the solution, but could be a valuable information for the devs. Thank you!

Das Problem ist noch nicht gelöst. Was könnte ich tun, um es zu vermeiden? Der Workaround ist keine Lösung, könnte aber für die Entwickler nützlich sein. Vielen Dank!
