The process:
1. I click the Join menu link.
2. The "Select profile type" page opens
3. Two profile types are displayed
4. I click the "Join Now" button for one of the profiles
(the link address on the button is:
http://brainfutures.com/index.php?option=com_easysocial&view=registration&task=selectType&profile_id=2&Itemid=424&controller=registration)
5. Message -- Please login first

The initial registration page should be displayed.

This was working correctly previously, but I assume some permission setting was inadvertently changed by me. Please advise what I should change to fix this problem. Thanks
Hello William,

It's most likely because the menu that was created on the site is all being set to "Registered" only. To fix this, you need to create a menu item that is publicly visible at least for the registration page.

Hello Mark --

I already tried that. Twice. However, I now noticed that I also have an additional identical link under a different menu that was for set for registered. I changed it to public and solved the problem. This was obviously controlling the access. Unclear if this is proper behavior or a bug, but I just want to make you aware of the situation.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the heads up on this William, this is actually not a bug but it's intended to be this way. If you have created identical menu's that points to the same layout, EasySocial will try to use the menu id that it founds first and associate it with this menu.
