I get this error when working in WordPress, when requesting a page preview from the admin backend on page editing.

I posted a ticket with my host, this is their response.

==================================================
Hi Ray,

This looks like a mod_Security error. I cant find anything in the error logs, but I have disabled it for your account – please let us know if that changes anything.

Regards,

T*** ******
======================================================

Is there any chance that this plugin is causing this?

I was using chrome browser
Version 22.0.1229.94 m

Regards

Ray

Hi hunnsdon, it was reported in the comments thread on the BBQ homepage that the plugin was blocking Google/Chrome stuff because of the pattern matching “:” in certain URL requests. Please update the plugin and see if it’s working. If not, please let me know which URLs are blocked/not working so I can take a look. Thanks.

Hi Jeff

The hosts removal of the mod_security did solve this but I was toying with the idea of passworded directories, so they re-enabled.

I was still having the trouble after your update which I did first thing before using the site.

I’ll see how it goes over the next few days.

Hi Hunnsdon,

Is your link that way:
http://example.com/hello-world/?preview=true
http://example.com/2011/09/11/?preview=true

or that way:
http://example.org/?p=1&preview=true

or paste yours.

Thanks

Hello !

Yes! Correct, your last message is correct, I was responding to:

Hi Hunnsdon,

Is your link that way:
http://example.com/hello-world/?preview=true
http://example.com/2011/09/11/?preview=true

or that way:
http://example.org/?p=1&preview=true

or paste yours.

Thanks

and this is what I got from the browser when I got the 403 error:

wp-admin/post.php?t=1352622963937?t=1352623863711?t=1352624177338
is not a correct url, “?” has to be used only 1 time.

This was included with the 403 error.
