megamenu icons not available for menu items with access not public

lawyerlinguist1

Hi there,
I have a menu item for login and one for log out. The access for the login is Guest and the one for logout is Registered, so that logged in user only see logout and people who are not logged in only see log in.

I noticed that:
1. megamenu configuration doesn't show the menu items with access set to anything different than public
2. I temporarily set the access to both menu items to public so to have the ability to display the menu items and set an icon in megamenu configuration: however, after setting the icon and set the menu item to guest or registered, once I login and log out, the icons are gone.

Can we fix this?
Thanks,
have a good day.

Hi lawyerlinguist1

Could you share the URL + admin account of your site so I can have a closer look and check for you?

Hi there,
thanks, but the site is still offline. However, I think you will reproduce the issue if you follow the steps above.
In short, menu items set to anything different than public are not shown in megamenu configuration.
Have a good day.

lawyerlinguist1 May I know which Joomla version are you using? I will check with the team on this.

Hi there, sure! I am using J 4.0.4, but that's something I've seen in J3.x as well.
Thanks.

lawyerlinguist1 When you view the megamenu configuration section, make sure that you select the same access level in order to view the item.

For example, if you set a menu item to 'Registered' access level, you need to select 'Registered' in megamenu configuration so you can see it:
