What happens to child nodes when a culture is unpublished at the root node?

Question

I’m using Umbraco 17 with Culture Variants. What happens if I unpublish a specific culture at the root node?

Will all child nodes under that branch also become unpublished/inactive for that culture, or can they still be published and accessible independently?

What is the expected behavior in Umbraco 17?

Hi @Locit2k

Welcome to the forum!

Not sure about cultures specifically, but if you unpublish the root node everything underneath would then become unrouteable so nothing would render. I suspect that same would happen for cultures, so the specific cultures would not longer be accessible, but other published cultures would.

If you’re not sure and want to try it, do it on a dev/test environment to confirm.
