Articles not opening to guest except registered users

My OJS is set to ‘journal will provide open access to its contents’ in Distribution Settings - Access - Publishing Mode. But still, when each article is clicked, it displays.


I am using OJS 3.4.0.8
I need help to make the article open for public access. Also, after publishing, it still shows unpublished when I want to assign a DOI.

Hi @akeredolujosh,

If this is happening for all of your articles, this might suggest that it is an issue with the files_dir. We provide instructions on how to properly configure it here: https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/admin-guide/en/deploy#secure-files-directory

An important thing to bear in mind is that you need to create a directory outside of the web root.
