Unpublished Articles On FrontEnd - Widespread Issue - Urgent Action Required

Howard-Duggan1

Unpublished articles are appearing in the front end. I can see this is a recurring problem with Joomlart templates.

To save time:

This issue has nothing to with whether Super Users are logged in.
This issue has been reported across a number of templates. One example of many.
None of these issues have been resolved by the JoomlaArt Team.

On behalf of the community I request an immediate solution this issue. No repeat time wasting with an entry level mod saying they'll take a look at the issue. Please confirm this is being treated at the highest tech level with urgency.

This is not an aesthetic glitch. This is a critical problem affecting your clients.

Hi @Howard-Duggan1

The error you're encountering is because you've edited the permissions for public with edit allowed (this privilege is typically reserved for admins or moderators). Please double-check your settings.

Thank you. That has fixed the issue and I appreciate the quick response.

I hope that others who have this issue in the future will locate this ticket – because when I was searching the forums, previous posters had not received this resolution (and I wouldn't have had to create the ticket).

There is a second – and related issue – concerning notifications of deleted items appearing in search results. I have attached an image. Can you please advise why this is occuring.

EDIT: If you click to page 2 on the link the articles appear as they should.

Hi,

Can you describe each step so I can see that error? I notice you're not using smart search, right?

Howard-Duggan1 Hi

Firstly, I check that Competitions page has its own menu item but right now, it opens under Home menu item, it seems that you have redirect settings for this URL in 3rd party extension called 4SEF. I tried to disable the 4SEF URL management in configuration of this component and the Competitions page display items normally for the first page. So kindly check your settings in 4SEF component again.

The second issue relates to the RSForms you're using, it looks like you embed forms in articles. I tried to assign Cassiopeia template to this Competitions to make a test and the same notifications appear:

You could reach out to provider of RSForm for further assistance on this.

Regards

Hi, we have deleted the URLs and rebuilt them and the issue has resolved. Thank you.
