 I have an issue that probably has nothing to do with Admin Tools WAF. But, I want to safely temporarily disable all filtering rules to confirm this. I don't want to disable the entire extension, fearing unintended consequences. Is there a way to simply 'suspend' WAF? (wish I had used 'suspend' as a keyword in my search)

Hello,

you can easily "turn off" Admin Tools filtering by disabling the system plugin.

Ok, will do, my concern was that when later re-enabling it, that might result in an unintended consequence because the 'tool' does so many different things.

Don't worry, there's no problem at all. Admin Tools is fully integrated inside Joomla, so you can easily enable/disable it whenever you want.

If anyone is curious, disabling it as recommended, yielded no observable problems at all. I've now irrefutably ruled out "Admin Tools" as a cause for a website problem.
