[Qgis-user] not advertised wfs layers

[emmexx]

I installed qgis 2.18.16 on slackware 14.2 and now when I try to open a
project saved with a previous version a window opens up with one wfs
layer listed as containing connection errors.

Tha layer is one of others defined in a geoserver server, the only
difference from the others is that this one is not advertised (Advertise
is a layer property in Geoserver).

Is it possible to load a not advertised wfs layer in this version of qgis?

thank you
