Support Forum

Thank you

 I've requested my hosts provide information on mod security use.

I have lots of wordpress plugins, but this issue was there a long time ago, and reared its head again recently.
I only updated wordpress and my plugins to try and solve the problem!!

I couldn't pinpiont a date at which it started, which is why I ask if someone could help me by going into my wordpress and having a look at the settings or otherwise, I cannot possibly go through 29 plugins and try and isolate one of them, that is just insane. 

As I said the problem doesn't just coincide with anything, it seemed to be just when cutting and pasting but now the forum seems to be taking a dislike any particular posts. 

Maybe you could register on my forum and try and copy and paste a post from this thread for example?

Ok, so it wasn't as bad as I first thought. I turned off (deactivated)every single plugin but simple press.

Still getting same result. 

I will get back to you with login details of guest account etc in a while, thank you.(should it be necessary) 

I just got this response from the host :

Yes, we have a mod_security module installed for increasing the security of our servers. Its activity may cause some issues from time to time, when requests sent to the server match with mod_sec rules. Sometimes such requests are false-positive. It is not recommended disabling mod_security module completely, for it may cause security issues for your account. However, if it is a mod_security, which is causing the issue on your website, we can find certain mod_security rules, and disable them for your account.

In order to find out the caused of the issue, and resolve it, please provide us with more details. Where exactly do you see the error? Please provide us with step-by-step actions to re-produce it from our side.

I am going to provide them with a link to here and ask them to copy and paste my Premier League bets stuff to my forum see if I can make progress on this. 

Got the following reply from the host:

This issue was connected with peculiarities of content of post submitted by you. Content of your post was compared with the patterns stored in the database of the firewall and it was falsely assumed to be a SQL-injection attack. We have turned off a corresponding rule on the server. Please try to submit your post again.

Which appears to have resolved the issue, at least for now.

I appreciate your help on this guys.
May I suggest that this issue is pinned outside the paid for area for future reference?
I cant be the only one with this hosting issue, and its frustrating wasting your time and my money for no reason, updating from a perfectly acceptable and working version of the forum, all to try and resolve an issue which had nothing to do with the forum software or wordpress.
