Public Joomla Elements Denying Access 403

Question

I recently upgraded from Joomla v1.5.26 to v2.5. This installed v2.5 in / jupgrade.

I had to reinstall K2 in / jupgrade and the new K2 took my old K2 items as the database was copied.

However, all K2 items had an empty access level. This meant that when I selected an item from the navigation menu on the front panel, I was prompted to log in. After I logged in, I got 403.

Then I set the Public access level for all K2 items and ensured that the entries in the menu point to the correct K2 items.

However, error 403 remains at the front end.

Why is a page prohibited if its access level is Pubic?

Answer 1

I found out that jUpgrade does not set permissions for articles OR categories.

As soon as I set permissions for categories, articles are displayed OK.
