I've been using this for many years without any issue. I had a problem after updating my website from Joomla 3.6.5 to 3.9.1.5, I got locked out of my Admin panel, so I used the work around by renaming the Admintools plug in: main.php to main-disable.php. After I fixed the Joomla install, I changed the name back, but now it's not working. Also I did all the usual things like clean the template and browser cache I uninstalled Admintools and reinstalled it, changed the "Administrator secret URL parameter" of course beginning with a letter, but this didn't resolve the is problem. My site is accessible with my url/adminstrator. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

John,

I'm pretty sure WAF is working. Your IP address is in the white list or in the "never block" list, which disables most of Admin Tools' checks for you, including the Secret URL Parameter.

Hi Dale,
I'll check it off site, but that sounds correct as I did add this IP as safe after being locked out.
Thank you for your quick response.
PS I love Akeeba Backup and Admin Tools!
Best regards,
John
