Features / Usability

There may be several reasons why a module appears for some users but not others. Some things to check:

• On the Admin: Features page:
  • What are your settings for the Left and Right columns? (Always, Never, or User Decides)
  • Do you have the Layout per section option selected?
  
  See the docs for details.

• On the Admin: General page:
  • Do you have the Display modules to all groups always option selected?
  • Do you have the Hide anonymous-only modules from registered users option selected?
  
  See the docs for details.

• On the Modules: Admin page:
  • Did include the Anonymous group? Do your other groups inherit the Anonyous group?
  • Did you clear the cache after updating the module?
  
  See the docs for details.

• On the System Admin page, clear all the cache and temporary files.

Is your Tiki public? Do you have a URL?
