 dear support team,

i am using admin tools on different sites. on these sites there is SP staging installed too.
SP staging is a tool which can do remote backups and updates. (updating all joomla sites from one site)
SP staging has to be on first position of all plug-ins. otherwise it wont work.
especially BEFORE admintools.

but in the meantime i recognized that the position changes itself and admintools sometimes puts itself on first position again. i dont know when and why this happens.

so i often have to login and change the positions of SP staging/admintools again so that i can do remote updates again.
but that holds me up and its inconvient.

do you have a solution for that?

thanks a lot

This happens automatically when you visit Admin Tools' main page in the backend.This won't change because the Admin Tools plugin MUST be first to offer protection to your site. If it's not the first plugin to load it simply doesn't work correctly. That was a serious issue in (much) older versions and we had to address it.

You'll have to reorder the plugins every time after visiting Admin Tools' main page in the backend. Alternatively you can see what exactly Admin Tools blocks in SP Staging and add a WAF Exception to let it work even with its plugin published after Admin Tools' plugin.
