Hey @cway that definitely sounds like an odd one… Are you able to share a screenshot of what the site looks like when you’re signed in, compared to when you’re signed out?
Thanks for the screenshots @cway – I see what you mean. It’s tricky to know what the cause of that might be.
It’s possible it is similar to this issue which is reported in WordPress core (and will hopefully have a fix incoming) where styles for elements don’t load on the front end of the site.

At the moment the best fix is to make an edit directly to your database (following the instructions from this other thread).
After some fiddling and debugging, I found that a database reset / reinstall would make it work. That’s not a fix, obviously, so I tried to get more specific. Dropping all of wp_posts did *not* fix it;
The eventual database record I landed on was a transient with the id of _transient_wp_core_block_css_files in the wp_options table
Delete that, and default css files should load again.
Looks like the latest update fixed it 🙂
That’s great news! Glad to hear it. I’ll mark this thread as resolved for now.
