Anonymous users haven't access to list/lib views and all content page - SharePoint 2010

Question
-
Hello,
I need to give anonymous access on a specific site collection.
I followed this : http://www.topsharepoint.com/enable-anonymous-access-in-sharepoint-2010 or this : https://www.dynamics101.com/sharepoint-2010-enable-anonymous-access/
It works on all others site collections but on this one I can't go on _layouts/viewlsts.aspx or on all list or libraries views. However i can download pdf files and images if I have the link... I don't find out the problem with this site collection. Can you help me please ?
I tried to break inheritance, doesn't work. There is no versionning or checked out items.
And I don't find the site collection feature "Limited-access user permission lockdown mode" mentionned here : Anonymous document library prompts for credentials don't find out why maybe this is the problem...
I tried : List set for anonymous but public cannot view but the feature ViewFormPagesLockDown is disabled.

The symptoms you are describing are definately the result of the site collection feature "Limited-access User permission lockdown mode" being activated. Check the Site Collection Features list again. Its on that list. You'll need to not only deactivate that feature you'll also need to remove and reset anonymous access permission settings. Applying anonymous access works differently if the lockdown feature is active. So deactivating the feature is not enough to give anonymous users access to _layout pages again. You need to reset the permission settings too.

Hi Morgan,
In SharePoint 2010, the "ViewFormPagesLockdown" feature is hidden, we need to use PowerShell to disable it.
If the feature is disable, you need to check the master page of the site collection and make sure it is checked in and approved, as the below:
Thanks,

Indeed, I need to remove the anonymous access (change to "nothing") and re-give access (change to "Entire web site), then it's works! Saved me lot of time. Thanks a lot!Monday, November 19, 2018 11:45 AM
