You don't have permission to access /wp-admin/post.php on this server.

Hi,

We are using this service to host our non profit organization website (salihcenter.org). Whenever we try to update or post something with wordpress, it gives us an error:
----
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /wp-admin/post.php on this server.
----

Is there a way to fix this issue?

I believe it is related to the mod_security module from reading other posts. Can a higher level user access this component for our account and change it?

Hi salihcen,

I'm sorry this got missed. Please can you try again, and then provide me with the full URL that you see this error message at? I'll look up what happened in the server logs.

Thank you,

I clicked update post on this URL: http://salihcenter.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=98&action=edit

Which redirected to this URL where it shows the error message: http://salihcenter.org/wp-admin/post.php

Thanks for you help!

Hi salihcen,

Thanks for that! It looks as though our security software is blocking your request because it has spotted a pattern that matches that of a known vulnerability. Please can you send me a private message with the full content you are trying to submit in your WordPress post? This might be a false positive. You might also want to try in a different browser, just to be sure this isn't an extension injecting it.

Thank you,
