Manage Products menu gives access denied page

[landdon]

Whenever I try to edit a product I get a page that says:

The page you are trying to access is restricted due to a security rule.

If you believe the security rule is affecting the normal operation of your website,

you can disable it by adding the following lines to your .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_security.c>

# Turn the filtering engine On or Off

SecFilterEngine Off

</IfModule>

Should I really modify the .htaccess file just so I can edit a product?

Did you use a plugin to set up your security rules or did you or your host provider set this up manually?

[landdon]

If I did it wasn’t intentional. I have the plugins Akismet, captcha, footer pooter, form maker pro, hello dolly, jetpack, and wp estore. Unless one of those changed my security rules then I guess my host set that up.

I contacted my host, and they modified the security, and it’s good now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
