Thanks a lot Nicholas! Your reply is always impressively detailed! You must love helping people! I have never seen support as good as this in my 16 years of life. That is why we really feel comfortable to work wtih your brand and use all the pro versions you developed. The feeling is very good and confident!
I did try the 2 suggestions too. For disabling the System - Admin Tools plugin, I could not disable it. I always got this error when I tried to save:
https://mrkr.io/s/66318a8780f97406809bf4bc/0
and therefore I got the permission denied message when I tried to disable the plugin. When I go back to the WAF setting, I could see that the option Defend against plugin deactivation was set to No even if I got the error when I tried to save the configuration, but I could not disable the plugin.
Then I went to Manage Extensions, and disabled everything related to Admin Tools. It seems that I could disable all the extensions here, but maybe the plugin is different and it is still working hard to protect the website.
For #2, I did try the original .htaccess file shipped with Joomla and it causes no differences.
After talking to the server provider for weeks, it seems that we cannot get this resolved still.
We just try to create a login menu on another different Joomla website, and it seems that we will get the same problem, and the same issue comes up even if we changed the website to another hosting server. Interestingly, this is not related to the editor itself. If we just login at the frontend, and close the window then try to visit frontend again, we will immediately get the 403 permission denied issues, which will not disappear until we clear our browsing history.
Do you have a clue what might happen and how to fix such an issue?
Thank you.
