[Pmwiki-users] PmWiki password puzzle

[John Rankin]

We have something odd going on with passwords and aren't sure what we are doing wrong.

The setup:
There is a group with a read password and an edit password. The edit password is also a valid read password. Some pages have the read password set to nopass, allowing read access by anyone.

The sidebar includes both Main.SideBar and $group.SideBar. Neither SideBar page has a password.

The problem:
On pages without a password, $group.SideBar displays, but Main.SideBar doesn't.

If we edit a page and enter the edit password, or visit a page that requires a read password, Main.SideBar displays correctly for the rest of the browser session.

Any idea how to fix this?
