QUOTE Sometimes when I try to publish or Save an article it keeps loading for long time then redirect me to a page that has the theme of my blog with no content and the following title: Nothing found for Wp-admin Post Php http://wordpress.org/support/topic/257647 Someone found a possible solution.. QUOTE I was finally able to resolve the issue. The problem was with the mod_security rules that were restricting the posting of large html codes. You can ask your host to disables these by whitelisting your domain. The question is, is it safe to turn off mod security? I found an alternative way, but it involves some coding.. QUOTE Alternative to Disabling Extra Web Security It is really a bad idea to turn off the Extra Web Security option from the panel because mod_security protects your site from many kinds of attacks and is highly effective. But occasionally it can be a little too secure and cause an error in your web application. These errors occur because of the default mod_security rules pre-loaded by mod_security from within the servers configuration, and can not be modified easily. Thankfully DreamHost has allowed its customers to control some of these options from within site. So make sure all of your domains have it enabled. .htaccess files http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Mod_security I'm not a pro, how can this coding be added into .htaccess? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Staying Secure, without the Errors CODE SetEnvIfNoCase Remote_Addr ^208\.113\.183\.100$ MODSEC_ENABLE=Off If you are receiving an error message while doing an administrative task like posting on a blog, uploading an image, etc., then you can instruct mod_security to allow that specific task.. Beyond that you can turn mod_security completely off for your IP address. And any other number of options. Google for more. Adding this to your .htaccess file will turn mod_security off for the IP address 208.113.183.100 CODE SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI ^/wp-admin/async-upload\.php$ MODSEC_ENABLE=Off If the problem is only occurring for a particular file, like /async-upload.php which [caused problems for WP 2.5 users you can also disable mod_security from within .htaccess for a specific file.. CODE <IfModule mod_security.c> SecFilterSelective REQUEST_URI "^/wp-admin/async-upload\.php.*$" "allow,pass" </IfModule> Instead of disabling mod_security for everyone who requests async-upload, you should instead use this method which allows the request to pass without being denied, so you still have the security of additional mod_security checks and you keep logging turned on. Prevent mod_security logs from showing up in error log CODE <IfModule mod_security.c> SecFilterDebugLevel 0 SecFilterDefaultAction "deny,nolog,noauditlog,status:503" </IfModule>

I'm using DH but they now have this policy of hands-off when it comes to .htaccess I'm just wondering if mod security is safe to turn off, as it seems to be interfering when I'm in wp-admin QUOTE(JusticeDeserves @ Sep 4 2009, 01:09 PM) Just asking, did you install Theme my log in plugin? Theme my log in? What's that
