Hi

I set the Administrator secret URL parameter in the admin tool professional 3.2.0.

The login page still shows up without the parameter when i do for e.g. www.test.com/administrator

There is no IP in the whitelist.

Thanks for prompt support

We have retracted version 3.2.x. Please downgrade to 3.1.x as detailed in https://www.akeebabackup.com/home/news/1607-problems-with-admin-tools-3-2-x.html

Hi

Thanks. It solved the problem... just that I have now to downgrade many customers sites :-(

But when I don't receive the blank bage on 3.3.6 I can only deinstall the component administrator 3.2 over the installer, and reinstall version 3.1.1 again, right?

Thanks

No need to uninstall anything. If you uninstall you will lose your settings and that's a big PITA. Just delete the plugins/system/admintools directory and install Admin Tools 3.1.1 as the instructions tell you to. There's a reason we ask you to remove plugins/system/admintools before downgrading. If you don't remove it the downgrade might not work in some rare cases.
