Hello AJ,
the problem of the blocked device emulator, is usually due to the Akeeba Admin Tools extension that in the WAF section disallow the template query string to work.
The other possible reason is the htaccess, if it has the following section the result will be same:
Code: |
## Disallow visual fingerprinting of Joomla! sites (module position dump)
## Initial idea by Brian Teeman and Ken Crowder, see:
## http://www.slideshare.net/brianteeman/hidden-joomla-secrets
## Improved by @nikosdion to work more efficiently and handle template
## and tmpl query parameters
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)tmpl=(component|system) [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)t(p|emplate|mpl)= [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]
|
in this case the line
Code: |
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)t(p|emplate|mpl)= [NC]
|
blocks the template query string and thus the device emulator to work.
