Hi all,

Our OJS site just suddenly can’t be accessed without login. It is as if, we have put restriction to access the site. Our setting is intact: Access to journal content=>the journal will provide open access to its contents. This happens few days after upgrade. Any help will be much appreciated. Many thanks.

ps: we use PHP 5.6, encryption md5.

Edited: Just found out that Additional Site and Article Access Restrictions options were both checked. It shud be unchecked.

I have both the mentioned checkboxes unchecked still getting error Not Found when accessing without login. Please help.

Hi @paritosh89,

I’ve responded to your question on another topic. Please don’t double-post – it clutters the forum.

In case anyone else finds this page and needs another possible solution: I had to go to the Administration → Hosted Journals page, edit the affected journal, and check the Enable this journal to appear publicly on the site checkbox.
