Does this allow for bypass for guest users to view the site just in case they don't want to sign up?

The easiest way to do this is add custom links to your sign-in page such as "Don't want to sign in? Click here to proceed" or a custom coded button Example: https://cimmarian.com/

Yes, it does. Make sure that allow guest view is set to 'yes' from your site settings.

Running v1.84. Just installed the plugin, and have allow guests set to "yes".  However it will not let a visitor bypass the screen to view site?


is there a fix, or will I have to look at the custom code option listed above?

Maybe you set your privacy to members only. You should consider changing that.

I never have had that setting, and still do not. There is no X to close as there is on the OxWall Sign-in..
Thanks

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. If your users are being forced to sign-in before viewing your website, it's because you set the 'Guests can view the site' option to 'No' here website.com/admin/settings/user.

Appreciate the quick responses.  See attachment for my settings.


However because of other visual issues using it with my current theme, I will pass using.

Thanks
