How can I make the user profile pages 100% public?
I mean, this website is more of a professional directory than a social network, so all guests should be able to view everyone's profiles.
Profiles are public by default.
You just set profile page to Registered users only:

Change it to Public.
Do not use "Guest" as this will lock access for "Registered" users.
- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.
- Use the "Thank You" feature on any post that helped you
Many many thanks for answering me on a sunday!
If I could click on "Thank you" a hundred times in this answer, I certainly would.
Such a simple answer for such a unnecessarily complex problem.
I just wanted a "edit my profile" link on that top menu that would be visible only to registered users.
I never thought that just by setting the menu item to registered would lock my profiles.
Maybe that is something you should think about, either changing this menu behavior, or creating a "edit my profile" or "view my profile" menu item that could be used outside of the jomsocial bar, visible for registered members only.
I will solve that with CSS, as I have the "loggedout" and "loggedin" body classes I can use.
