Hello,

A user reported she got a 403 error that said: This request is blocked by Admin Tools. Please change this message in the component's options.

Question: I want to customize that message, but I cannot find where to do that.

Thank you. Can I suggest a slight enhancement to the link that you sent. My addition is offered in bold.

Custom Message

By default, Admin Tools uses a generic message ("Are you feeling lucky?") when a request is blocked. Considering that this may not be exactly the kind of message you want your visitors to see, we allow you to customise it. To access the message, Click Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF, Customisation. Just type in the message to be shown to site visitors when a request is blocked, e.g. "We have detected a possible security violation caused by your request. Please go back to the previous page and try again."

Thank you for the speedy response.
