HandySolo, your .htaccess feng shui is good: it appears to have healed my woes.

So this directive stops the .htaccess directory inheriting the default mod_security settings. Surely this is always an issue for servers running mod_security? Is there a reason the WP installation doesn’t include a .htaccess file with that directive by default?

Anyway, thanks very much.

I’ve been getting the same problem. I’m astounded that no-one has been able to answer this categorically on the forum. It seems like a really common problem, and it’s not like ay of the people posting it have been newbies: we all know to check the file permissions etc.

Completely stumped; think I’ll go back to using blogger.
