Logged-in Users Unable to Access Homepage Links

    I have an unusual problem. After logging in, the user can see all the links on the homepage, but when they click on any of them, a message appears stating that access is only available to logged-in users – even though the user is already logged in. Interestingly, the forum works correctly – the user can access it, and they are shown as logged in there.

    However, as an administrator, I do not experience this issue.

    I would appreciate your help in resolving this issue.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    This issue in WordPress is likely caused by session inconsistencies, caching, or plugin conflicts. Try clearing the browser cache and cookies. If using a caching plugin, purge the cache and disable object caching temporarily. Check for plugin conflicts by deactivating all plugins and reactivating them one by one to identify the issue. Ensure that Anyone can register is enabled under Settings General and verify that COOKIE_DOMAIN is correctly set in wp config.php. Some themes may have custom login/session handling, so switching to a default theme like Twenty Twenty Four may help. Regenerate permalinks by going to Settings > Permalinks and clicking Save Changes without modifying anything. Ensure the affected user’s role has the correct permissions under Users All Users and use a plugin like User Role Editor to inspect them. Enable WordPress debugging in wp config.php by defining WP DEBUG as true and checking the debug log at wp content/debug.log for session-related errors. If none of these steps work contact your hosting provider to check for server-side caching or session handling issues.

    Thank you for the advice! I wanted to let you know that the Really Simple Security plugin was indeed causing issues, but the problem has already been resolved. Thanks again for your help!
