I'm unable to save changes in AdminTools. I'm in Configure WAF > Exceptions > Never block these IPs

and I wanted to remove old IP addresses that should no longer be in that list. After removing an IP address and trying to save I get:

---

Warning

COM_ADMINTOOLS_CONFIGUREWAF_LBL_OPT_ADMINPW_INVALID

danger

There were errors trying to save the Web Application Firewall's configuration.

---

I tried emptying cache and logging out and back in again but to no avail.

Please advice

This is a missing language string which is supposed to read the following:

The Adminstrator Secret URL Parameter is invalid. Please remember it can only consist of lowercase and uppercase latin letters without accents or diacritics (a-z and A-Z), numbers 0-9, dashes, and underscores. The first character cannot be a dash or underscore. It must be 4 to 64 characters long.

Hi Nicholas,

Thank you. Solved ✅

Yes, I can also see it says exactly that in the settings for that parameter. These were old sites where I hadn't changed the secret URL parameter for a very long time and they were only 2 characters (so that was the issue).

Thanks 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
