RE: Unable to view Web Content (Journal Article) as Guest in Liferay 7.4 u57?
Hi,
I'm currently facing an issue where as a guest user, I'm unable to see the web content present in the public home page (/web/guest/home). I had recently migrated from Liferay 7.1 to 7.4 DXP Update 20 version, where I found these articles -
- https://help.liferay.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033645011-After-upgrading-to-Liferay-7-1-guest-users-cannot-see-some-web-contents
- https://learn.liferay.com/dxp/latest/en/installation-and-upgrades/upgrading-liferay/upgrade-basics/post-upgrade-considerations.html#enable-web-content-view-permissions
following which I was able to make the Web Content visible in the home page by de-selecting the option - Article view permissions check enabled option in Control Panel > System Settings > Content and Data > Web Content > Web Content (Virtual Instance Section).
However, now when I updated my bundle from Liferay DXP 7.4 Update 20 to 57, I was again unable to find the web content in the home page. Investigating further, I checked the configuration I had made to view the content as a guest and found that this option is missing in Update 57 in the same place - Control Panel > System Settings > Content and Data > Web Content > Web Content (Virtual Instance Section).
Not sure if this has already been observed but I need to understand what is the issue here as I'm blocked.
Hi Kaustabh, the property was removed and you must make sure each
individual article has the proper view permissions for the guest role.
We need to update the documentation to account for this property
removal. Sorry that you had to discover it as a surprise.
Hi Kaustabh Sinha,
Was you able to figure out what was thé issue ?
I installed a fresh 7.4 update 63 from the 14th of february 2023, and I cannot see my Web content either.
