 * Hello everyone.
 * I have a password protected page on my WP site and I give my visitors access 
   to this page with a password.
 * Most people are able to access the protected content without any trouble. But
   some people tell me that they get the following error after typing in the password
   on the page:
 * “Not Acceptable!
    An appropriate representation of the requested resource could
   not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security.”
 * My website is hosted by Hostgator. I’ve contacted them before about this issue
   and they only showed me the errors that mod security generated. I’m not a developer
   so this info did not make sense to me at all.
 * Can anyone please help me?

 * You really need to work this through with HostGator, as configuring mod_security
   is not part of WordPress.
