Hi Nicholas,

Is there a way to delete the whole Security log file? I have about 75.000 entries from 1 IPadress, trying to enter the Administrator backend. I want to delete it from the log. But this is not possible at ones, only with 100 at a time.

Like to hear from you,
Regards,
John

Hello John,

there's an easy and fast way to do that: using Admin Tools System plugin.
If you get inside its configuration page, you'll find an option named Maximum security exceptions log entries. Here you can set the maximum number of log entries: set it to any non-0 value and Admin Tools will start deleting them.
It might take a while since it will delete 100 records each time, but after a while everything will be delete.
