I have my name restriction set to none. And I have my individual record permission set to show to visitors.
I01 is set as the default individual for charts and reports. but when I try to view the tree when I'm not logged in, I get the following error:
This individual does not exist or you do not have permission to view it.
Thanks.

It is what we do on the demo server.
See the default individual dev.webtrees.net/demo-stable/individual.php?pid=i1&ged=demo
Since we can't see your site, I guess you need to compare what you have done with the demo server.

It looks like my name restriction was set to show to visitors, but not my individual record. I couldn't find a way to do it in the software so I edited the raw gedcom for the individual record and added "RESN: none". It now looks like the default individual in the demo.
I no longer get the error when trying to view the tree as a visitor. It shows my record at the bottom of the tree but now it shows blank white boxes for all of my ancestors. Before I migrated from phpgedview to webtrees, it would show individuals that were alive as private but would show blue or pink for their gender in the pedigree tree.
Thanks.

This setting is in Control Panel -> Family trees -> Manage Family Trees -> Privacy
Go down the page to the section
Privacy restrictions - these apply to records and facts that do not contain a GEDCOM RESN tag
Then, ADD youself and set "Show to visitors" in the drop down box.

If I change the main individual in the tree to someone that's not living, it displays their ancestors with no problems.

There's a privacy setting "show private relationships"

Show the family tree: Show to visitors
Show dead individuals: Show to visitors
Age at which to assume an individual is dead: 100
Show living individuals: Show to members
Show names of private individuals: Show to members
Show private relationships: Show to visitors
I attached a screenshot of my individual record when I try to edit the GEDCOM. Is the restriction correct?
Thanks.

If I go to the pedigree tree (while not logged in) and change the main individual to my grandpa (I04) everything works fine. So it seems to be a permission related to a link between my default individual record (I01) and living (private) individuals.

My record (the default individual) is showing up fine for visitors now. And if a visitor views my record they will see my siblings and parents as private because they are still alive. But if a visitor views an ancestor chart or a pedigree tree, they only see my record and all of my ancestors are hidden. My privacy settings have not changed since I posted a couple months ago.
I would be very grateful for some help. Thank you.

But I notice that your individual page shows you as having siblings, but no parents. This seems odd.

- Greetings from Utrecht, Holland
What I have done on my site, and maybe that could work out OK for you too, is on the Home page I publish a couple of public individuals (all my grandparents and some of the oldest ancestors) with a Favorites block. When a visitor goes from the Home page directly to the diagrams, then it will show I1 (me) is private. But the (at least my) idea is that they first have to navigate to a public record and use diagrams & charts from there.
That way my privacy (and privacy of my direct relatives) is protected but visitors can still dig into public data. Most of the random visitors arrive at my site because they googled the name of a public individual. So their entry to my site is through a specific public individual and not through the Home page.

The "family navigator" in the sidebar does not.
Both should be the same.
Have you run the "check for errors" in the control panel?

I did the following:
1. Added the tag '1 RESN none' to my record - also achieved by adding 'Restriction' under 'Fact or event' and selecting 'Show to visitors'
2. Added the tag '2 RESN none' to my birth - also achieved by clicking on 'Add new restriction' in the birth window and then selecting 'Show to visitors'
3. Repeated steps 1 and 2 for my parents.
This has now achieved a seamless flow from me to my ancestors while maintaining the privacy of all other living persons.
In my case I decided that I only wanted very basic birth and name information about me and my parents available to visitors, ie anything already publicised elsewhere. So I created additional birth and name entries, set the restriction of these to 'Show to visitors' but set the restriction of the original entries (ie my full name and birth details) to 'Show to members'.
