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”.

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!

Do you think, that we could solve the issue? Your ideas are greatly appreciated.
