The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.I'm trying to use the theme developer module to figure out the candidate template files to theme the user registration page. Since visiting the user registration page while logged in displays an error, I tried adding all Devel module related permissions to the anonymous user. I'm then able to see the Themer info box and the red outlines appear, but no matter what I click on the, the box just continues to display the "Click on any element to see information. . ." message. Any ideas?

effulgentsia commentedThere is now a separate permission 'access devel theme information' that can be given to anonymous users without needing to give the broader 'access devel information'. Even so, do this on development copies of sites only, because even the narrower permission can still expose information you don't want people seeing on a live site. In my testing, it works. Please re-open the issue if it's still not working for you.

stella commentedI'm afraid I'm encountering the same problem, with the latest dev version of both devel and devel_themer. I've assigned all permissions needed to the anonymous user. It works fine on the majority of pages, but on the user/register page it doesn't display anything when you click on an area.
Tested in Safari 4 and Firefox 3.5.x.

effulgentsia commentedWorks fine on my end. Can you try again with latest dev versions?

hkirsman commentedI don't read any permission code. Wanted to use devel themer on /user page but it's not working.
