I have installed Admin Tools on a new website.
Everytime I logout from the backend I get a Admintools security exception notification email (Security Exception: Admin Query String).
I have no idea how to avoid this.

I have about 20 other Joomla sites with Admin tools where this is no problem. Only on this new site..

Regards
Martin

Hello,

does it happen everytime or you just experienced it?
Can you please try to use the incognito mode?

For the records, when the secret param is applied, we inject it in the Logout URL, in order to avoid issues while logging off (as you experienced in the other sites). I suspect the redirect after the logout has been cached by your browser (without the param), so you get the notice.

Hello Davide,

I have deleted all cached website data and cookies and now the exception is gone.

Thank you.
