Hi,

I am trying to troubleshoot a WAF issue by disabling the Admintools plugin, BUT I am unable to disable it: it throws a 403 error instead. I am the superuser on the account, so not sure what's causing this behaviour.

 

Thanks!

This is the Defend against plugin deactivation feature of the Web Application Firewall, documented in https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/admin-tools/web-application-firewall.html#waf-configure-basic-protection As noted in the documentation, you'll need to disable this feature before unpublishing the plugin.
