 * Am having a random issue with non-logged in users getting an error message “You
   are not authorized to perform this action” when trying to place an ad by clicking
   on Place Ad. This does not occur consistently.
 * What would cause that error message?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-placing-ad%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
