# HTTP Error 403.0 – ModSecurity Action

 * Hello
    Everytime, I try to update a post, page or add a new theme or delete an
   old plugin. My website throws out this error. I am authorized to login to the
   website and I can do update to plugins and other smaller changes.
 * I don’t have a ModSecurity plugin on my site. Unfortunately, my backup is very
   old – otherwise I could have checked for strange directories.
    I contacted my
   hosting providers in South Africa, but they are kind of pathetic. So if somebody
   can help me or provide any suggestions, it will be much appreciated.

 * mod_security is a module installed by your hosting provider at the server level.
 * You’ll need to contact them to fix this.
