   Are you using WP Cache? My host have ModSecurity and I can’t use that plugin or my site crash pretty bad.

   No, I was not using WP-Cache.

   For people using typical remote-hosting arrangements, will this general approach be impractical, for lack of information, and access? (Mr. Cheney recently affirmed that if my hosting-provider does actually exist, it can be legally denied under Geneva Convention.)

   If that is so, is there an alternative approach in view, using only client-side facilities?

   In that case, something like this should/might work. Dont forget to change the name of the file that is causing the error to come up.

   Ah – these are the refs you started with/hoped would solve your issue; which describe the ‘simple’ case and provide the least-invasive, most-general solution-approach: .htaccess edits, which most hosts allow. Good to know – thanks!

   I talked about this issue in WordPress vs. mod_security on my blog a while ago. I don’t think my host allows any way of overriding the mod_security rules (being security rules and all) so I ended up just having to use a workaround. Thanks for the pointer to the various links — I might try the “SecFilterInheritance Off” fix if I get the time.

   My host recently enabled mod_security2 on the server and which resulted into broken wordpress blog. After doing some search on mod_security vs wordpress, I found following article

   I provided this to my host and they implemented it and now it works fine without any issue.
