Hello,
I have installed a payment plugin (for Pireaus Bank) but when I proceed with the payment I get an error: "Forbidden. You don't have permission to access /plugins/.../pay.php on this server".
The developer of this payment plugin informed me that this error is due to an extra implemented security (admin tools). How do I fix it and give permissions to these files?
Best regards.

P.S. I tried to disabled admin tools so to check if this is the reason but I can't: "403 Access Denied".
How do I disable admin tools pro?

Hello,

you have to add an exception inside the Htaccess Maker page.
You have to add the path to that plugin inside the field Allow direct access to these files

Thanks for your reply Davide.
One last question.
How is it possible to temporarily disable admin tools?
Best regards.

Admin Tools is made of two parts: the system plugin and the .htaccess file created with the Htaccess Maker.
Regarding the system plugin, you can simply disable it from Joomla interface. To undo any changes made to the .htaccess file, you can simply replace it with Joomla default one (the htaccess.txt file you find inside the installation package).
