    Hi there. I keep getting a timeout error (524). I have searched multiple articles and mostly relate to Cloudflare and I am not with them at all. I checked my error log and it says the following: [ModSecurity] Request body no files data length is larger than the configured limit (131072)

    Assuming this was created by Wordfence. How can I allocate more than the configured limit? This timeout error occurs when I try to add modules to my elementor home page such as contact forms, etc.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @lielowspark,

    From our documentation:

    ModSecurity is an open source web application firewall that can generally be configured to augment what a recommended WordPress security plugin like Wordfence does in a compatible way.

    You may find that your host has ways to administer this through your hosting control panel, or in some cases the /etc/httpd/conf.d/mod_security.conf file has to be modified to increase the SecRequestBodyLimit value. I’ve seen some people recommend altering from 131072 to much larger values like 6MB (~6000000) but your host may be able to help further.

    Thanks,

    Peter.
