   I get an error 404 within the site if i make a large post with over about 40 words.

   The same thing happens if i update a successfully made short post (with less than 40 words).

   I have seen many 404 error topics in these forums but have found no helpful replies.

   Thanks in advance to any help.

   Has anybody else had this issue? It seems very strange, the rest of my site is working well

   does your host have mod_security enabled? 404s done usually result from that but you never know.

   thanks whooami,

   I am looking through the c-panel but can't find anything about mod_security enabled. Is this something i'd have to contact the host about personnaly?

   you can or you can just create a phpinfo file

   <?php phpinfo(); ?>

   call that whatever you want as long as it ends in .php, upload it to your web directory, and load it in your browser.

   search that page for mod_security.

    Thanks for your help
    this is resovled by inserting the following into the .htaccess

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </IfModule>
