   that will error if mod_security isnt the problem, so you want to wrap that, like so:

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

   and you really dont want to put that in the .htaccess that's located at the root of your site -- mod_security does serve a purpose. Disabling it site-wide is both unnecessary and, to some degree, foolhardy.

   I recommend putting the above inside an htaccess that lives inside your wp-admin directory.
