Title: logged out user cannot access slideshow Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # logged out user cannot access slideshow * Resolved [mcamsmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcamsmith/) * (@mcamsmith) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/logged-out-user-cannot-access-slideshow/) * Hello Jacob – Thank you for this great plugin. I am looking forward to getting it working 100%. I have made table setting changes to increase the size of the popup when mouse-over occurs (Table I-C-8) and have set up events for a mouse click to go into slideshow mode. All works well when a user is logged in. However if a user is not logged in, behavior for the mouse-over goes back to a default popup size, and clicking on the image does nothing (no slideshow). In fact, if I am logged in, viewing a slideshow and log out, the slideshow stops and remains disabled until I log in again. For my site, the desired behavior is to have logged in and non-logged in users enabled to see the slideshow. * I have perused table VII but have not found anything that helps. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. * [http://www.creativeenterprises-fg.com/pottery-gallery](http://www.creativeenterprises-fg.com/pottery-gallery) temp user: guest guest * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-photo-album-plus/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-photo-album-plus/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [Jacob N.

E.g.`? wppa-occur=1&wppa-album=1&wppa-photo=5` is entirely discarded, while here is the information in to tell the site what to display; in this case a slideshow of album number 1 starting at photo number 5. As this querystring is ‘thrown away’ clicking the popup image just returns to the original page as if the querystring did not exist. * Inspect your other plugins, disbale them temporarely to test if you find one that acts as described, and if you find it, please tell me so i can put it in the documentation to help other users in the future. * Maybe you have a caching plugin active that ignores querystrings? * Thread Starter [mcamsmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcamsmith/) * (@mcamsmith) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/logged-out-user-cannot-access-slideshow/#post-5393703) * Found it! * I am using the TablePress plug-in (Version 1.4 By Tobias Bäthge). My shortcode to launch the Album is in a TablePress cell. If the Album shortcode is moved to a standard page, the issue described in this post goes away. I don’t know the details, but I do know that TablePress does have some security related features. Those features must be affecting WPPA querystrings when WPPA shortcode is embedded in a TablePress Cell. I will let Tobias know. * Thanks very much for your reply. Your advice was good. * Thread Starter [mcamsmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcamsmith/) * (@mcamsmith) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/logged-out-user-cannot-access-slideshow/#post-5393726) * Jacob – FYI, more info on this issue and it’s resolution: * For WPPA to work correctly in a TablePress table, the table needs to be configured disable output caching.

Turning that off using the extra parameter will tell TablePress to always use a fresh and not the cached version. * Regards, Tobias * Plugin Author [Jacob N.
