Hi, on my site I have some html pages structured with frames, a frame calls a page in my hosting, another calls an external address. The one calling the external address turns out to be white. I think it's a crash due to Admin Tools. Can you tell me how to unblock the page? Thank you

Have you tried turning off β€œProtect against clickjacking” in the .htaccess Maker and regenerate the .htaccess file?

If you replace the contents of the .htaccess file with those from the htaccess.txt shipped with Joomla and no other changes to your site does the problem go away?

I tried to replace the .htaccess file with htaccess.txt renaming it to .htaccess but there was no change

This means that your problem does not come from Admin Tools' .htaccess Maker.

Moreover, Admin Tools' Web Application Firewall does not have any feature which could get in the way. You can verify that by first going to Components, Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF, set Defend against plugin deactivation to No. Then go to Extensions, Plugins and unpublish the System - Admin Tools plugin. You will see that your problem still occurs.

If you give me the URL of a page where this happens I might be able to point you to the right direction. The only thing I can think off the top of my head is that a third party plugin is setting the Content-Security-Policy, but it's equally likely that you are misdiagnosing your problem and the issue is something with the IFRAME itself.

Thanks for your assistance, I found the problem, I corrected the protocol in the url putting https:// instead of http://

Ah, that would definitely do it.

In the past, browsers would show a popup with a mixed content warning. These days you just get a blank IFRAME and an error in the browser's JavaScript console about the insecure content not being allowed to be displayed.
