Hi,

I am suddenly unable to login to my joomla /administrator page as it redirects everything to the homepage.

As I havent been logged in since I upgraded Akeeba software I guess something went wrong there. I talked to my hostingprovider and they claim they havent changed anything.

So, any idea how I can get back into my admin?

Kind regards
Kaare

I just had a thought. Is there something in Admintools that blocks/redirects the administration page when trying to access it from other countries? I am currently abroad.

Kind regards

There are several features which can do that:

IP Administrator Whitelist. If your IP is not in the whitelist you will be redirected back to the home page.
Rename administrator directory. If you access the /administrator directory instead of your custom directory this will happen.
Secret URL parameter. If you do not put the secret URL parameter you will be redirected to the home page.
Away schedule. If you try accessing your site's administrator directory within the hours of the day you've specified as being away (note: this is based on the server's timezone, not where you currently are!) you'll be redirected to the home page.
