Re: plug in problems with 4.0.5?

Thanks, wet. I did as you suggested; that generated a 403 error.

I encountered a similar problem when I tried to install zem_contact_reborn on 4.0.3; I think it was ruud who pointed out that I really should upgrade to 4.0.5. So I did and that solved the ZCR problem, and I haven’t had any issues with other plugins—but this is maddening.

If I remember correctly, I had to install a “compressed” version of ZCR. Does a compressed version exist for zem_event? Can I make one? Perhaps that would help.

Re: plug in problems with 4.0.5?

So you are probably rejected with a 403 response by a mod_security rule. mod_security’s POST scanning can be disabled on a per-directory basis by (temporarily) adding

<IfModule mod_security.c>
  SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

to a .htaccess file in your textpattern folder (NOT your site’s root). This is of course undermining your host’s security measures so you’d better check with them whether they can offer any other solution.
