I’ve been plagued with this problem for about two weeks now. I could write a post, I could publish it: but it would never show the information in the content field. The only thing that would publish would be the title, the tags and the categories. I could write comments and I could even delete entire posts: but I just couldn’t edit them. If I went into the edit field, I could type but once I clicked save the edits would dissappear.<\/p>\n

Another sign of this problem was that I couldn’t switch to code mode: it was always stuck on visual editor. After some heavy searching I found two fixes<\/a>, one safer than the other.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Option 1: Not Very Safe<\/strong><\/p>\n

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE an .htaccess in your wp-admin\/ directory<\/strong>:<\/em><\/p>\n

create a text file on your desktop:<\/p>\n

put the following inside it:<\/p>\n

<IfModule mod_security.c><\/code>
\nSecFilterInheritance Off<\/code>
\n<\/IfModule><\/code><\/p>\n

save the file.<\/p>\n

Upload the file to your wp-admin directory.<\/p>\n

Rename the uploaded file to .htaccess (with the .)<\/p>\n

IF YOU DO HAVE an .htaccess in your wp-admin\/ directory<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Edit it:<\/p>\n

<IfModule mod_security.c><\/code>
\nSecFilterInheritance Off<\/code>
\n<\/IfModule><\/code><\/p>\n

save the new .htaccess<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Option 2: Much Safer and focused directly on the problem:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

I went ahead and edited my .htaccess in my root directory and added this:<\/p>\n

<Files index-extra.php>
\nSecFilterInheritance Off
\n<\/Files><\/p>\n

That fixed my problem. I didn’t want to turn off mod_security for the entire wp-admin folder, so this way just turns it off for index-extra.php file.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
