Admin-Ajax Error

youre going to need to disable mod_security.

if you do not have an .htaccess in your wp-admin/ directory:

create a text file on your desktop:

put the following inside it:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</IfModule>

name it whatever you like and save the file.

Upload the file to your wp-admin directory.

Rename the uploaded file to .htaccess (with the .)

If you do have an .htaccess in your wp-admin/ directory:

Edit it and add:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</IfModule>

—

there are cases where that might not work — for instance, mod_security was recently changed so you might need a different little snippit of code. if this doesnt work, just post back.

and be careful with your edits, obviously.

I’ve tried this code in the .htaccess and it’s not working. any other suggestions? I keep getting this error message when trying to create a new category.

Not Found

The requested URL /wordpress/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php was not found on this server.

thats not the same error as the original poster was reporting. you are missing a file.. look at the error, read it, then make sure the file mentioned exists in that location.

I’m getting the same error as above:

Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /stirling/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php could not be found on this server.

Tried the .htaccess fix, but unfortunately it seemed to take the whole admin area down instead of allowing the edits. I’m running version 2.3.1 if that is at all helpful?

I also tried .htaccess thing but it is not working I am getting this error. Help is appreciated

I had the same problem and to fix it add the following to the .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
