I just installed the admin pro tools in my website, coppying the exact same settings that I have in my 3 other websites.

The problem is that although i log in using the secret url, when i navigate in the administrator panel, it keeps sending admin query string alerts form my IP and then blocking me.

There is only 1 thing I did differently this time, if this helps you.

When restoring the site using akeeba, in Angie, I filled the live url field with "http://www.mastersol.gr" although I usualy leave this blank. Would that make a difference and create a problem?

Hello Thomas,

usually that problem is caused by a third party plugin that is trying to load some files from the backend and is not using the secret param.
I'd suggest you to take a look at them.

By the way, which browser are you using? Sometimes it (or some else browser extension) will try to fetch the screenshot of your site, raising a security exception.

The Live URL option should not affect the secret param feature, however to be 100% sure please try to set it to blank and try again.
Please be aware that under some server settings, Joomla needs the live_site param: if your site is acting "weird", please fill it again.

For some reason, this was happening in my workplace PC, and in my home it works perfectly. How is that possible...
