 * Hello,
    currently I got problems adding files using the file browser.
 * Problem is, that opening the file browser in the post edit form i got a 403 response.
   I took a look in the server log in this is due to mod security rules. I#m not
   able to deactivate them.
 * Please help me changing this behaviour within the plugin.
 * Affected mod security IDs are: 214620 214940
 * Whole messages are:
    ModSecurity: Warning. Operator GE matched 4 at TX:outgoing_points.[
