403 Error When Making Post with a Hyperlink

  • So I’ve run into a problem just yesterday when trying to put together a new post, mind you this has never happened before and I post a good amount of hyperlinks.

    I was getting a 403 error when I tried to save draft or publish. Troubleshooting I went through up updated my .htaccess, removed all plugins, even changed themes. Problem still happened. Finally I found what was causing it, if I put a hyperlink in the article it 403’s when I try to save or publish. If I remove the hyperlink the article will save or publish.

    Any idea where to go from here? I’m at a loss.

  • Weird, you’re getting 403, most of us are getting 404.

    Judging by the people that “fixed” this in the last couple of hours this seems to involve a new mod_security rule (on the host) throwing a fit when a < character is involved. Host removing said rule fixes the issue.

    @domenlo Please can you explain some thing more?

    I want to also solve it
