Hello,

Installed Akeeba Admin Tools and added an administrator secret URL parameter.  However the admin page can still be reached using /administrator.

I used to use a plugin called admin exile, but now that I'm upgrading sites to Joomla 4 I can't use that and was hoping this would work to help keep hackers from finding the admin page.

I've read documentation, etc. and can't figure out how to get it to work.  Even if I disable the browser cookie - and try a different computer or cell phone - it still goes right to the admin login page instead of redirecting to the home page.

Please help,

Syd
