Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: SQL keywords cause errorsOoops… that didn’t do it, because either “SecFilterScanPOST Off” or “SecFilterEngine Off” in my .htaccess causes a 500 Internal Server Error. There are any number of reasons that could happen, I’m sure… .htaccess is powerful, but picky.
FWIW, the magic string above still fails in WP 2.9.1.

In reply to: SQL keywords cause errorsI asked, and the reply is “Yes, we are running mod_security”. Does that help anything?
I don’t have a local installation for testing, at least not yet. I’m planning to add another WordPress installation, though, so I’ll try this test on that one. If it works there, then the problem is clearly related to this particular installation. Thanks!

In reply to: SQL keywords cause errorsWell, that’s good news, at least. It doesn’t help me much, of course, but it means the rest of the world isn’t broken!
I tried the “Reinstall” option under Tools, but it didn’t help. (Related note: WordPress was initially installed using my host’s Fantastico utility, then upgraded to 2.9.)
I guess all I can do is practice my leet-speak and hope the problem just goes away.

In reply to: SQL keywords cause errorsThe post you suggested didn’t fail, so I took the original 1000+ word post and started hacking it down to a bare minimum. I’ve gotten here so far:
from converter with from from ( fromSaving “test post” with that content fails with a 404, whether doing a Preview, Post, or Save Draft.
Removing anything from the line causes it to save successfully. I was working on methodically listing each possible thing to remove… but now my server is not responding. That might not be related to the WordPress problem (it’s probably just the proxy here at work), but I think I’d better quit poking it with a stick for a while.
