    I am having trouble making a post that includes the term ‘selected from’. I have tried this now on two insatbces of wordpress and in each case, including those words in a post causes the post to fial with a 403 error. If I type selected morf then all is OK.

    Yes, highly unlikely but it is so.

    any ideas?

    Regards

    Nick

    Sounds like mod_security kicking in. If you search around the forums (and elsewhere) you can turn up some ways to work-around or bypass it. I believe there are some interesting ways to use .htaccess to manage this.

    Or you could work with your host to see if your phrase could be alowed.

    selected from clearly worked OK here. I tried disabling TinyMCE with no effect. and I tried disabling the visual editor. Again with no effect. If I edit the field in the database with phpmyAdmin it goes in and displays OK but again fails if I then use the editor. I got round it in the end by changing selected to chosen.

    Wasted a half day chasing this!

    That’s impressive, Chris – I will pass the query on to my hosting service provider.

    Just to wrap up – it was a problem with mod-rewrite. The solution proposed by the hosting provider was to disable the SecFilterEngine

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine off
    </IfModule>

    <IfModule mod_security2.c>
    SecFilterEngine off
    </IfModule>

    I understand that doesn’t represent too much of a risk but I wonder if there aren’t some lists that one can edit. No doubt that not simple.

    Thanks for the tip.

    thats not an issue with mod_rewrite, thats just what was proposed to you — an issue with mod_security
