 * Hey fellas,
 * I’m having an issue syncing content from a WP Engine Hosted production site to
   a WPE staging site. [Screenshot](https://digisavvycdn.s3.amazonaws.com/Edit_Post__the_Urban_Dater__WordPress_2016-04-25_18-20-01.png).
 * On the target site I disabled all other plugins besides Sync. Then I was able
   to sync posts back, I saw the success note. However, subsequent syncing of the
   same content didn’t produce the same message, although, the content actually 
   DID sync. [Video](http://recordit.co/33x2tsUvbJ). That video shows me deleting
   a post from the target and then Syncing from the source site.

 * Hello Alex,
 * In order to diagnose this issue, we will need to get the debug log from the system.
   On the Target site, enable debug logging by editing wp-config.php and ensuring
   that these two lines are present:
    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’,
   true);
 * On WPEngine, use the “Reset file permissions” button in the Dashboard.
 * Then, perform the same operation, recreating the issue. After that, forward the
   log files located at wp-content/debug.log and wp-content/plugins/wpsitesynccontent/
   ~log.txt

 * I’m seeing the same message as Alex shared in his initial screenshot.
 * I can enable the debug logging on my target system. Where would I forward the
   log files?
 * Would greatly appreciate getting this working.

 * It turns out that the reason that WPSiteSync could not successfully sync content
   is because it was triggering a rule in mod-security on the target site:
 * `mod_security rule [Id '340162'] triggered!`
 * I was able to test that this is the case by disabling mod_security for the domain
   through .htaccess
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_security.c>
       SecFilterEngine Off
       SecFilterScanPOST Off
       </IfModule>
       ```

 * That’s very interesting. Thanks for noting this. We will relay this to our tech
   department for further review.
