"Security token not valid" error in Extplorer, when trying to move or delete files
Added by Magh S over 5 years ago
After some Joomla upgrades, not sure which ones, Extplorer no longer moves or deletes files. It used to work alright before. Any idea how this can be fixed?
(Running latest Joomla version, with PHP 7.1.24, and Extplorer 2.1.12)

I just tested it on a PHP 7.2.10 installation in Joomla 3.9.3 - and it works as it should. Did your webhost change anything else on the server?

No idea. It's paid hosting, and in general quite good. I'll try to uninstall Extplorer and install it again, and get back to you.

Still the same problem. I used Akeeba Admin Tools to purge sessions table, cleanded tmp, and emptied cache in Joomla before the new install.
Extplorer, however, seems to retain some previous configuration after the new install, e.g. when I opened it, instead of going to the site root, it goes to the folder used in a previous session. Is it possible to remove all these remains, and start with a clean install?

You could try to delete all cookies and test it again...

In your browser please open the developer console by pressing F12 and then click on the "network" tab. Now please try to delete a file in eXtplorer and send the request and response details please (click on "index.php" and copy Headers and Response). Please don't post private details such as path or detailled URL with FQDN here.

Yes actually, I am having the same issue.

I found out that when I delete the browser cache, and login again in the backend, the problem is gone.
From time to time Extplorer gets the same issue, and each time I clean the cache and it's fine.
I use the latest Extplorer version, with PHP 7.3 and latest Joomla.
