Wordpress on my blog has become a real pain in the ass lately. I've been slow to upgrade, so I've had 2.1 for a while. I figured my problem was because of this, so yesterday I upgraded to 2.7.

Nope, same thing:

When I'm writing/editing posts and go to save them as a draft, I often get this...

I'm so sick and tired of this happening. I Google'd the problem a while back and didn't find much advice. The only thing that I did find is that this error can occur if the post text has certain special characters in it like "<" or ">".

If I then use the <code> tag around special characters, I can avoid the error.

BUT... this is now happening with normal text as well. It's to the point where I can hardly write any more on my drafts or save them.

If anyone has a clue on how I can solve this, please let me know. :)

Thanks!!
 


Sounds like the prob with mod_security.

"You need to whitelist certain files in your wp-admin area. Or, if you can, whitelist all of the files in wp-admin." Source can be found here

hmm I've been having ALOT of issues lately to with the 404 but I've had alot of other variables going on, new hosts, .htaccess issues...etc so I haven't been able to narrow it down. Wonder if this is the problem.

Thanks xdreamer, I bookmarked that link so I can point my host to it next time there's a problem.
