If the site is working, just keep whistling. 🙂
Just in case something is flaky, set up automated backups so if things crash you won’t lose any work. I like using the plugin “backwpup” for that.

Thanks, but I would like to find out the wording of the notification as it seems to happen only on sites running a certain theme, so I could run it by the theme authors.
if you think it’s theme related, try switching among themes or deleting and reinstalling themes.

That’s just totally impossible, it’s a complex theme with an awful lot of function customizations and switching it would entail taking the site down. I am just trying to get the wording of an error notification. It popped in and out during installation but there must be some record of it somewhere? Thanks.
NO, not necessarily. Check your site’s error logs, just in case.

How do I check my site’s error logs? I don’t know where they might be. Never had to in the past.
Thanks
Look in your hosting control panel

Well, my web host said they have to do it for me but they said they don’t see any such error
— they say “probably mysql query packet warning which is nothing serious has to do with mysql…”
BUT NOW I’m having problems with their mod security — I basically have white site, a 406 error — unless I disable it.
[:error] [pid 621229:tid 139929469646592] [client 67.86.245.55] ModSecurity: Access denied with code 406 (phase 1). Found 1 byte(s) in REQUEST_HEADERS:Cookie outside range: 1-255. [file “/usr/local/apache/conf/modsec-imh/01_base_rules.conf”] [line “28”] [id “960015”] [msg “Request Missing an Accept Header”] [severity “CRITICAL”]
I’d appreciate any insight you may have
Mod_security is not for the faint of heart. I’ve tried it several times on my server without luck. It takes some really good mod_sec experts to get it working with CMS like WordPress. You’ll need to talk to your host (again). Who is that?

Web hosting Hub <https://secure.webhostinghub.com/> — that’s all the guy I talked to could offer. I went there twice, but it was the same guy both times.

The gist of it (sorry, I can’t see how to edit prior messages) is that the mod security worked fine previously, and I only disabled it to upgrade, I still got the failed to query error, but since the site worked fine, I went and put the mod security back on,and that’s when I got the 406 error and that’s when I contacted the web host.
Thanks again
