Hello all.

I created a block with the help I received here: http://drupal.org/node/229486 of the latest news posts on a site I am creating. My new block shows when I am logged in as Administrator, but not when I am logged in as another role, or for anonymous users. I want it to show to everyone.

Any thoughts on what could be going on? I've checked the access permissions and I think I've got them right. Another issue I am having is with logging in/out: I sometimes am redirected to a blank page and occasionally see an "access denied" message. I'm wondering if maybe there is some general issue with permissions....is there an easy way to reset them?

I am using a local installation of 5.2 on Xampp.

Thanks,

Shrill

Hello.

I am a newbie too and I experienced blocks not appearing when I am not logged-in.

I've read that it could be due to the incompatability of the theme that you are using or the anonymous permissions.

Just hang-in there, the experts will definitely find the answer you are seeking. The Drupal community is very helpful.

I m playing around with Drupal 6 for last few days.
I also had the same problem. I under stand that its not the block which is going invisible, it is the elements inside the block which is not showing and once the a block is empty, drupal will not even render the block.

This is how i solved the problem.
go to -------
Home › Administer › User management > Permissions

and check the permission for the element (eg:"view field_img") for "anonymous user" and "authenticated user"
Hope the particular element that is not showing in the normal view will be listed out there.
Hope this will work.
