I know that you can edit a page as a logged out user by clicking the little icon on the bottom right but I have a couple of problems….
First, that does not always show. So I have no way of editing a page as a logged out user in this case.
The other problem I have is more of a server issue I know, but there must be a way to work around the problem. On my site, if a user logged in and tries to access certain pages, then the site redirects them. For example, I have a page where a user can go enter an activation code that is emailed to them. If you are logged in, or if you have a cookie that you have already activated your account, you are redirected to the home page.
You are logged in to the site when you are editing pages, obviously. So I cannot access the activation page because whenever I try to edit it, I get redirected to the home page.
This action is by design, of course. So my suggestion is there needs to be a way to imitate a logged out user when opening a page, not just a way to click on something that says view as a logged out user. If the page redirects, like on my site, then you can never edit the page that you need to work on. Is there a way to open a page as a logged out user, and not just a way to click on something once the page is loaded?
I really hope all of this makes sense, it does to me at least when I read back over it. 🙂
Thanks for reading!
