I'm implementing a blog actually.

Here's what had happened:

1. I setup my drupal blog nice and shiny on my laptop, locally.
2. Uploaded to my host, changed database settings and it started working fine on the net
3. There was one problem -- the admin section pages won't open on the online version.

4. I downloaded just the database to the offline version, I uninstalled all modules on offline version and uploaded the modified database back to the online version. Now admin section opened. So I concluded it is some module which is not working on the host and causing admin section to timeout.
5. I enabled modules one by one to pinpoint the incompatible module. It was Global Redirect.
6. But now came up the most peculiar and weirdest of all problems: all new nodes that I create don't show up to anonymous users. I pinpointed that only when i enabled the 'administer nodes' permission for anonymous user, would I able to see those posts as anonymous.

Maybe something in your role

Maybe something in your role access settings? Does it say that "Yes, anonymous viewers can access content"? Maybe you need to specify which content types anonymous viewers can see? Otherwise, maybe something in the Taxonomy Access thingy? Difficult to say, of course... Just wild guesses.

I have disabled Taxonomy access. Nothing happened.

In Access Control, anonymous users are allowed to "access content".

About content type permissions, I even tried creating a completely new content type, even it's posts aren't accessible to the anonymous.

The weird thing about it is that I have one old post which I created 2 days back. It is very much accessible to anonymous users. ONLY NEW posts are not accessible.
