 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to remove the “Cookie contains: Admin” rule from the Exclude tab, 
   since I’m an admin and when I work on the site I want to see the same page versions
   that users will see, even if I’m logged in (but only in non-wp-admin pages).
   
   In the excludes tab there doesn’t seem to be any way to remove or even edit the
   hardcoded rules.
 * I have read another post here that requested to remove the wp-login.php rule 
   where you replied it shouldn’t be removed, but I don’t think that is the case
   for me.
    Also, I think it’s misleading to make the hardcoded rules clickable 
   with dialog boxes if they can’t actually be edited. Also, I think excluding admins
   is conflicting with the setting of not excluding logged-in users and renders 
   the latter pretty useless. my “don’t show cache for logged-in users” settings
   was unmarked and I had to spend a long time trying to figure out why it would
   still not show me the cached version when I’m logged in.
 * My pitch would be to leave some of the rules that come out of the box as “locked”(/
   wp-admin should be the only one imo) and make the rest editable/removable.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * I would also like to know if there is any way to disable this exclusion.
 * It is not necessary for the site that I’m working on.
