Hi Joyce,

I want EasyBlog accessible by public without registering or logging in.

After checking your menu items, it seems you only have EasyBlog dashboard menu item created. FYI, dashboard menu item is for logged in users to view their dashboard, which is why it is requiring login to access. You should create a (Post)Frontpage menu item for EasyBlog(http://take.ms/XnA9Z) since this is the main page for EasyBlog.

I want to review all posts before publishing.

You can restrict publish permission by configuring the setting in EasyBlog's ACL section for the chosen usergroup(http://take.ms/VCPMo).

I did as you suggested and still when attempting to write a new blog, I am prompted to login. Where is a step-by-step for setting up Easy Blog. This is far from easy. I really need more explanation than I've been able to find in the documentation.

Please help

Thanks

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

If I understand correctly, do you want to allow guest user submit blog post from your site?

If yes, unfortunately that was not possible to allow guest user to submit blog post by default.

With my subscription, don't I get custom support?
Do I understand this right: a guest user cannot submit a blog post "by default" does that mean I must monitor posts? What about comments? Do you mean a guest cannot comment without registering first?
I am confused and documentation (links provided) is not specific.
I need more detail please...

I am sorry that if I didn't explained properly in my earlier reply.

With my subscription, don't I get custom support?

Yes, with your subscription it will not include the customisation support, you can read more our support policy here.

Do I understand this right: a guest user cannot submit a blog post "by default" does that mean I must monitor posts?

The user have to register on your site first then only have permission to submit a new blog post on your site.
You can configure whether this registered user have the permission to publish the new blog post straight away or under moderation first, then after your site moderator review it, everything is okay then moderator only publish the blog post on your site.

You can refer on my screenshot here how to configure when the registered user submit a new blog post, the blog post will under moderation first.

What about comments? Do you mean a guest cannot comment without registering first?

Nope, for the comment section you can configure allow guest comment.
You can configure this setting from backend > Easyblog > ACL > select public/guest user group > comment > add comment - YES , you can refer on my attached screenshot below.
