[Tribunal33]

Valid Title

• I have updated the title to accurately reflect the bug description

Description

The generic privacy setting is not being displayed when the journal specific privacy setting is empty.

Preconditions : This will require admin access
Have a site wide privacy setting. Admin > Site Settings > Site Setup > Information > Privacy Statement
Empty the journal specific privacy setting in Journal Settings > Website > Setup > Privacy Statement (empty) (no local filled in either)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate to the journal specific page
2. Select the about menu drop down

Expected Result

Should have the generic Site Wide Privacy statement displayed as a link in the drop down menu. Which should show the Site-Wide default privacy statement when no journal specific privacy message is entered.

Actual Result

No menu item is seen.

Hi @Tribunal33, there is a config setting in config.inc.php for sitewide_privacy_statement, which is Off by default - when this is off, then the site privacy statement won't appear, regardless of the journal's privacy statement settings.
