Internal Server Error when saving a change
-
I’m getting “500 Internal Server Error” when pushing “save” on a brand new form or an existing form and I’m not sure why. I’ve disabled ALL other plugins (so cf7 was the only plugin enabled), changed theme back to 2021 default theme and cleared my cache (site and browser). I’ve also tried other browsers. I’ve also increased the settings in my php.ini file to the following:
upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size = 105M
max_execution_time = 500
max_input_time = 500
memory_limit = 256M
max_input_vars = 5000WP version is: 5.6
CF7 version is: 5.3.2 so everything is up to date.For the record, my theme is BeTheme and I’m on dreamhost. I was on php 7.3 where i saw the issue. I upgraded to 7.4 but that didn’t help. Nothing I have done has fixed this.
Can I get some advise?

Yes Dreamhost DID fix it. They wrote:
Upon thorough research of your site, I found that our Web Application
Firewall called Modsecurity has blocked some processes on your site that
were giving you the “internal server error”. I just did some
configurations and whitelisted some rules so you don’t have this problem
again. If you want further information on how Modsecurity works, here’s
an article that explains further:thanks @ilenejohnson
