After testing, I traced that the problem started appearing in version V1.22.0.

Depending on the theme we are using, the menu will not have its location set.

Does this have anything to do with it?

However, logged in users can view all menus, but they cannot be read publicly.

Thanks for reporting this @hmingv !

If you're tracing the change in behavior to v1.22.0, it's likely coming from #3043 . Whether this is a regression, intended behavior that requires updating that recipe, or the result of relying #3029 as a feature in your local query s another story.

In order for us to replicate and debug, can you please provide:

1. The GraphQL query you are fetching (bonus points if you can also screenshot it with the results in the GraphiQL IDE)
2. Your menu config (including the menu location it's assigned to, or whether it is unassigned).

Thanks!

Now I downgrade the plugin:

Using an unauthorized account now gives the expected results:

GraphQL query:

query MenuItems {
  menuItems(first: 200, where: {parentDatabaseId: 0}) {
    nodes {
      id
      label
      uri
      childItems {
        nodes {
          id
          target
          childItems {
            nodes {
              id
              label
              target
              uri
