Same here. This is really irritating, and either it gives me the 404 error theme.php is not found, or it says my IP is blocked. Checked with the host, and it is not blocked. It is something in the current revision of WordPress, and I hope they get it fixed soon.
Is there nothing else we can do at this point? I need to post images to my site
I contacted my host, and this is what they found out:
On checking the error logs I could see that the issue was due to the mod_security rules added on the server and you can verify it from the logs apsted below,

We have now whitelisted the domain from mod_security rules and this will resolve the wordpress issue.
This DID solve the problem.
I don’t know if I trust GoDaddy to handle something like this, they aren’t the brightest bunch
