Problem with dashboard “Method Not Implemented”

  • I’ve tried to install the new wordpress twice: once on an upgrade, once on a completely fresh install with a new database, and I get this error on my dashboard and “incomming links” sections:

    Method Not Implemented

    POST to /test/wp-admin/index-extra.php not supported.

  • I’m thinking maybe one of these additions to .htaccess will solve your problem.

    Thanks. Every time I update my .htaccess file I get a weird error. Here is what it looks like:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    Where do I insert the code?

    Well try the 2nd link that says put an .htaccess in your wp-admin folder.

    Yeah it’s not working. Maybe there’s something incompatible about my web-hosting?

    Possible problem in Apache mod_security2.c module, rules too strong.

    Self-Righteous assholes need not reply.

    I, too, have the very same problem occurring on a clean Fedora 7 install. Module “mod_security2.so” is NOT loaded as default. Any attempt to add it in httpd.conf fails.

    These “patchy” attempts at “fixes” so far proffered are useless.

    How about lets find the real problem and correct it?

    Modified one rule in the modsecurity_http_policy.conf file located @ /etc/httpd/modsecurity.d/modsecurity_crs_30_http_policy.conf

    FROM:

    SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:Content-Type "!(?:^(?:application/x-www-form-urlencoded$|multipart/form-data;)|text/xml)"

    TO:

    SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:Content-Type "!(?:^(?:application/x-www-form-urlencoded$|application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8$|multipart/form-data;)|text/xml)"

    And it worked for me.
