Admin Tools Community Choice Popular ComponentModulePlugin

Admin Tools is a true Swiss Army knife for your site. Our freely available Admin Tools Core will detect, notify you about and install new Joomla! releases, fix your files' and directories' permissions, protect your administrator directory with a password, change your database prefix, set a secure Super Administrator ID, migrate links pointing to your old domain on-the-fly and perform database maintenance, all with a single click.

Written and maintained by the same developer as Akeeba Backup and the Joomla! updater component of Joomla! 2.5.4 and later.

Note: a commercial edition (Admin Tools Professional) with extra security-oriented features is also available from our site for a fee. This listing is about the free version, Admin Tools Core.

Note 2: The software is free of charge, its support is not. You need a valid subscription (starting at EUR 7.79) to request support. However, its documentation, the troubleshooting wizard and searching the forum is free.

I have 40 websites all running Admin Tools, Not one site has been attacked since we started using Admin Tools, There have been many attempts, but no successful attacks.

The process is simple - Install Joomla then install admin tools.

Its easy to configure and makes keeping your site up to date with the latest versions of Joomla and Admin Tools very simple.

Its a shame I can only give you 5 stars (Excellent!) - It should be 10

I am not a review writer. Good or bad, i have done it 2-3 times so far. Guess what...I was compelled to review this extension as soon as i installed the extension. YES...it solved the common issues and a headache (converting all links to https). Awesome extension. I love it. It really gives the power and uses the spiderman web to tie all the parts in a single place. Hats off to the developer.

Well-written essential tool for your Joomla 1.5 site. Provides a level of security at the backend administrator, denying access to bots/hackers trying to identify your site. Allows you to easily change the name of the database tables denying hackers access. For these functions alone it receives an excellent five star rating.

Products like ADMIN TOOLS and AKEEBA BACKUP, make me sleep a lot better. These products are a MUST have. Unfortunately I learned the hard way. Hackers installed their product before I installed ADMIN TOOLS and AKEEBA BACKUP. Thanks a lot for these amazing products.

I'm relativley new to Joomla and products like ADMIN TOOLS make it so easy to manage your site. And if it wasn't for the ease of site BACKUP / RESTORE with the sister product AKEEBA BACKUP, I doubt if I would be using Joomla at all.

Both products are excellent.

I needed to upgrade from 1.5.23 to the latest of 1.5.26. Didn't feel like waiting on unzipping then FTPing over 10MB of files. I found the extension via a Google search for 1.5.23 patches. I wanted to make sure the 1.5.0 patch was the correct one. One of the results was a post in the Joomla forums and someone had recommended using Admin Tools.

I love it! Installed without a hitch. It let me know there was an update available. It downloaded and installed it.

Of course I've noticed Joomla 2.5 has updating built in. I'm happy to see Joomla is up with the times of built-in automated updates/update notification.
