Title: Mod_Security Error Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Mod_Security Error * [ssteven.porters099](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sstevenporters099-1/) * (@sstevenporters099-1) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mod_security-error-1/) * Every time I go to the “add new plugin” section and type in “java script to footer” the following error message comes up, * “Not Acceptable! * An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security.” * I can search and download other plugins just fine, even install them, but for some reason it just doesn’t like this word combination. It’s only happening on this one wordpress site of mine too. Any ideas what the problem could be?

What do you have in your .htaccess file? Can you post it here? * Thread Starter [ssteven.porters099](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sstevenporters099-1/) * (@sstevenporters099-1) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mod_security-error-1/#post-4305528) * I’m not sure what mod security even is. Is this something that I might have changed by accident? * .htcaccess file, Well, that’s the thing, I have two on my server. Is that normal? * The first one is just labeled htaccess.
