Hi Nicholas.

 

I keep receiving - as admin - Security exceptions with Reason: Admin directory.

What does it mean?

Is there a link for the list of the security exceptions?

 

Thanks for these awesome plugins you provide us.

Yes, there is a documentation page: https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/atwp/waf-log.html#waf-log-reasons

I am pasting here the relevant bit.


Admin Directory

Code: admindir

See the Configure WAF page, Change admin URL. The request was blocked by Admin Tools.


So, just go to the Configure WAF page and disable the Change Admin URL feature. I understand you must've accidentally enabled it and don't really want to use it.

Thanks a lot.

No, I do want to use this feature.
Simply I didn't know that this exception comes from this.

Thanks again.
