Question

When we edit a page using sectionedit and save and then try to edit again Twiki says the section is locked by TWikiGuest. Any ideas whats up here?

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

I don't think EditContrib, which SectionalEditPlugin has been updated for TWiki-4 yet. IIRC it side-steps the published API, which may be causing your problems (actually, I suspect it locks the file but never unlocks it again; it probably assumes that the core will unlock it. You could try commenting out the setTopicEditLock call).

I am not familiar with the SectionalEditPlugin, but the problem might be because the scripts are not set to require a valid user, hence guest for all. Check your twiki/bin/.htaccess file.
