# Can’t save changes to some posts

 * I am suddenly unable to save edits to some posts. I am using Beaver Builder lite
   with Astra Theme and my host is Hostgator. I click ‘save’ but the ‘saving’ indicator
   on the top tool bar just ‘hangs’ and the post text remains grey. This only occurs
   for some posts but not others. For example I can save changes to text on this
   post:
    [https://www.canberradogwalks.com.au/canberra-dog-swimming-areas/](https://www.canberradogwalks.com.au/canberra-dog-swimming-areas/)
   but not this post: [https://www.canberradogwalks.com.au/canberra-pram-friendly-dog-walks/](https://www.canberradogwalks.com.au/canberra-pram-friendly-dog-walks/)
   The posts have similar content, style, etc. However, so far I haven’t discovered
   a page that I cannot edit and save, but I have a lot of pages so perhaps this
   is also occurring for some pages. So far I have deactivated all plugins (except
   beaver builder lite) in case that is the cause, but this has not fixed the issue.
   A few months ago I added the following line to the wp-config.php file in my WordPress
   home directory: define( ‘FL_BUILDER_MODSEC_FIX’, true ); when I encountered a
   similar problem – and this solved the issue – until now. I have looked through
   similar support questions for potential solutions but haven’t found any except
   the ones I’ve already tried. Thank you.

 * Hey [@georgiamorris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/georgiamorris/),
 * It definitely sounds like an issue caused by ModSecurity. Can you check your 
   site’s **wp-config.php** file again and check if the modsec fix is still there?
 * If it is, can you fill up the form below(**General Inquiry**) and we’ll take 
   it from there?

 * Thanks – I did check to see if the modsec fix was still there and it is. So I’ll
   fill out the contact form. Thank you.

 * Resolved via email.
 * Issue was caused by ModSecurity. The hosting company was able to whitelist the
   modsec rule which was causing the issue.
