I also run a MODX CMS, and from what I can gather, its the same on that, its a recognised problem which nobody has been able to find a work around, on any host. </p> <p>Thank you for the help, I really appreciate it. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/218175#post-901015 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 17:52:55 +0000 moshu 901015@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Try adding this in a .htaccess file in the wp-admin/ folder, NOT in the root!<br /> <pre><code>&lt;IfModule mod_security.c&gt; SecFilterInheritance Off &lt;/IfModule&gt;</code></pre> <p>And if WP is causing "problems" for your host... get a decent host urgently! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/218175#post-900805 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:12:23 +0000 jakewc2 900805@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi, I really need some help here, please can somebody answer.</p> <p>I got an e-mail today from my Host, telling me that some script on wordpress is causing errors in their mod_security rules. According to my host this is what they sent me was the problem</p> <p>----------------------------------------------------------------<br /> mod_security has certain rules for the words "pattern" used in online CMS and requested URL's.<br /> If any pattern match with the requested URL under your site or any online CMS try to put the words "Pattern" to Database . mod_security deny the access to it. Most of the CMS put the data in the Ddabase and edit / delete record from database and really need the mod_security disable.<br /> We cannot modify the mod_security rules on shared server however can disable mod_sec for your site.</p> <p>-----------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Does anybody have any ideas about what this is about? I just dont understand what they are talking about, and why wordpress should have raised this alarm. </p> <p>Please can somebody help, its really important. If its not sorted, they already turned off mod_security without discussing it with me, and I only discovered that when i asked them about it. They turned it back on at my insistence, but have threatened to turn it off again, if I dont get it sorted. This will leave my site open to attack. </p> <p>Thank you.</p> <p>John. </p>
