Hello,

It appears something has changed on our site and I am no longer able to access and configure some of our site templates. Specifically, JoomShaper's Helix Ultimate. I am not sure if an update to Admin Tools or the Template caused this. Currently, when accessing the back end System>Site Template Styles>NameofTemplate I am getting a Blocked Request.

Questions: 

How to I configure Admin Tools to allow admin access to Site Template Styles?

Thanks in advance!

EJ

Davide,

Apologies but can you direct me to the location of the log files?

Thanks for your patience,

Davide,

Once I found the logs, I was able to add my workstation's IP to the "Site Allow List" which allows me to edit the template.

My question, did something change with any recent Admin Tools updates causing this? Previoiusly,  I was able to edit our site template without having to add IP addresses to the "Site Allow" list.

Thanks in advance,

ERic

Hello,

inside the WAF configuration, please enable the option "Allow site templates". That should do the trick.
