* Hey [@narolles](https://wordpress.org/support/users/narolles/),
* I’m sorry, I don’t understand. What do you mean with “the file refused to validate
this part”?

* Hello [@hcabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/)
When we validate
the function.php file via the wordpress theme editor – there is a system check
before saving

* Not sure I fully understand but as far as I know WordPress doesn’t have a “validate”
function that validates theme files like functions.php.
* 
* Are you using a third-party script / software to “validate” your theme files (
eg. a security plugin)? If so then it might be best to reach out to its support
team and ask them about this.

* Hello
here is a video to see what I dothe validation function has been in place
for a long time on wordpress – this avoids errors….Of course by ftp we can force….
but generally it is a warning sign.Of course at the time of implementation there
was no warning….[https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/30028820?key=9e8628caa377c71f97991cd6f3f59260](https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/30028820?key=9e8628caa377c71f97991cd6f3f59260)
I hope this is clearer

* Thanks, that does clarify things.
* The error message says something like:
* > A problem has occurred. Your modification may not have been saved. Please try
> again. It may also be necessary to correct manually and upload the file via
> FTP
* I tried your code as-is on a test site, pasted it into the theme’s functions.
php file and I was able to save changes as expected. Something else is causing
this problem on your end.

* Hello [@hcabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/)
I redid the
full test and I arrive at an error. I do not doubt your test of course.How is
it possible that we arrive at two different results – could it come from the
theme?Thank you[https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/30035746?key=ab404f2c3ed232e40f127e7a9585f5dc](https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/30035746?key=ab404f2c3ed232e40f127e7a9585f5dc)

* Honestly, no idea.
* Try using the [Health Check and Troubleshooting plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)‘
s [Troubleshooting Mode](https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/#troubleshooting)(
I wrote a small guide [here](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/5.-FAQ#using-the-health--troubleshooting-plugin))
to rule out that the problem is being caused by your theme and/or a third-party
plugin.

* Hi [@hcabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/)
* we find the reason
* the WAF server, following the injection rule “380025 SQL injection with PHP/Perl
payload”.
Thanks

* Hey [@narolles](https://wordpress.org/support/users/narolles/),
* That’s odd, it must be a false positive since your code doesn’t contain any SQL
queries and so no SQL injection can happen 🤔
