Wordpress: Public Petition Pages - is it possible yet? [SOLVED]

[rainerh]

Hello everyone,

Having just moved our CiviCRM from Drupal to Wordpress, I'm having trouble showing a CiviCampaign Petition on our public website. The petition was configured as mentioned in the FLOSS manuals and was working without a problem before. I figured out that the new URL should be /?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/petition/sign&sid=2&reset=1
but this only works for logged in admin users. Website visitors are getting a permission denied error.

I looked everywhere to get more information about this, and it seems to me that as the CiviCRM Access Control features are not yet implemented in Wordpress, I'm out of luck here. Can anyone confirm this or maybe show me a workaround for this nasty problem (we're using CiviCRM only for this use case in the moment, so probably would have to get back to Drupal to be able to use it at all...)

thanks a lot,
rainer

this worked for me:

Hi Donald,

thanks for the fast reply, but on the demo page, I get exactly the same problem as on my site (following your link): if I'm logged in, I can see the petition, if not logged in, I only get:

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.
You do not have permission to access this page

can you see the petition if you log out?
