   Hi,
   I downloaded and installed the Admired theme, which is great, but I have one major issue with it.

   Whenever I try to change some of the theme options (e.g. anything in the "General" tab under "Admired Options") and click "Save All Changes" I start getting "406 Not Acceptable" errors whenever accessing the WordPress admin pages until I clear my session cookies and log in again. The changes I try to make are not saved.

   I turned off Apache's MOD_SECURITY and thus verified this is not the issue.

   Any ideas?

   Regards,
   Eran

   Update: After turning off MOD_SECURITY, I have found out that this still happens when forcing all admin pages to use SSL (FORCE_SSL_ADMIN - http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Over_SSL). If I turn it off then I can save changes.

   Could anyone please confirm?
   Could this issue be fixed?

   Yes, I've tried this and several other similar suggestions I found and none of them helped.
   Like I said, the situation now is that MOD_SECURITY is completely off and this still happens when the admin pages are forced to use SSL.

   I am assuming you have a .htaccess file.

   Have you tried this fix?

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   Tried it now.
   Still the same. Works when SSL is disabled, shows constant 406 errors after saving a theme option when SSL is forced on admin pages.

   Are the WordPress folders password protected?

   No.
   It's a pretty standard setup, and everything else works perfect except when I use this theme and try to save changes.

   Alright and have you disabled the MOD_SECURITY your self in the .htaccess or did your hosting do that for you. I know there are different versions and some can only be done by the host regardless of what is in the .htaccess

   After I thought I failed doing it myself (because it didn't help), I asked my host to turn it off for me...

    Do you get the same 406 errors when trying to upload files or just in the Theme Options ?

    Only when saving the theme options.
    I forced SSL on the admin pages, uploaded a file with SSL enabled which worked as expected, and then tried to save the theme options which failed with:

    Not Acceptable
    An appropriate representation of the requested resource /blog/wp-admin/options.php could not be found on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    I honestly appreciate the help!

    I have to ask now what version of WordPress is installed?

    The latest (3.4.1).

    How about the permalinks what are they set to and were they changed? Your issue seems to be a bit unique

    The structure is "/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/" and the URLs were not changed.
    This is a new site, which I reinstalled 3 times from scratch just to make sure that the issue reproduces (it does reproduce).
