 * Today when I try to edit a record and click submit I receive this error —
    Not
   Acceptable! An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not
   be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security. I contacted
   my hosting platform and everything checked out as far as they could see. It was
   then that I realized it is only when editing a record in pdb that I get the error.
   I receive the error on both of my websites on which I use pdb.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmod_security-error-when-modifying-record%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Something like this usually requires knowing which mod_security rule was hit 
   and working out an exception for the operation. Something in the post payload
   most likely.
 * This is the first time I’ve heard of this happening so it’s likely this is due
   to the specific configuration of mod_security on your server.
