   and click publish
 * I then gert this error (either a post or page and of course the page.php – post.
   php) is returned.
    Forbidden You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/page.
   php on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while
   trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. ________________________________________

 * and what happens if you dont put that sort of content inside a post? ie, you 
   post a simple sentence? It works?
 * sounds like mod_security — disable it for the admin area, and see if you can 
   post that

 * just a heads up also, you tagged this is if you are using 2.2, you arent — and
   I only point that out since the version you **are** using is exploitable.

 * Yes, I can post fine when the iframe tag is not used. I thought I was using 2.2
   I’ll upgrade and see if that helps. And I don’t know what you are refering to
   in the mod_security comment.

 * mod_security is an apache module. You can disable it on a per-file basis, on 
   a directory basis, or domain-wide.
 * It’s a very useful addition to Apache but has a tendency to cause trouble when
   bloggers want to post.
 * I went to your site, and searched for a few terms that ought to flag mod_security
   bt wasn’t able to trigger it myself.
 * For instance, searching your site for “iframe”, “curl” and “.htaccess”, so it
   may not be the problem, but it doesn’t hurt to try disabling it and see.
 * Assuming you do not have another .htaccess in your wp-admin directory —
 * To do this:
 * 1. open a blank text file on your desktop.
 * 2. Put the following inside of the blank text file:
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_security.c>
       SecFilterEngine Off
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * 3. Upload the file to your wp-admin directory
 * 4. rename the file to `.htaccess` – yes, there is a dot (.) before that filename.
