Nothing? Perhaps I overcomplicated the explanation of the problem.

In short, what is happening is I am unable to update any post once it is first posted. When attempting to do so I get a 403 error and the error log tells me that there was a mod_security threat.

I’ve been able to narrow the problem down to the .htaccess file. It appears that the server regenerates a .htaccess file that conflicts with the .htacess file I have loaded myself.

When attempting to edit the server generated .htaccess file the entire wordpress site gives a 500 error.

The problem was the htaccess code. I added the disable mod line to it and it cleared up everything. thanks for your help. One less headache in the rearview mirror.

Thanks Shane,

I’ve repaired the DB, restored it, and then finally overwrote the config file but I’m still getting a 403 error when attempting to upload images. I also cannot edit older posts.
