Thanks a lot for this. I’ve been getting the same errors for ages. Each time I would contact my hosting company …
You don’t use FLUCCS do you? I think I’ll ask a pertinent question of the hosting company myself. I’ve only noticed this issue recently but it might’ve just been a fluke as most of my development is done on my Mac which doesn’t have any extra security running on its web server.

Re: [solved] Plugin code is not saved after editing
Here’re the results of some testing.
I’ve found a couple of strings that cause this issue and it all depends where I stick them. Using the article edit tab as a test bed I get:
http://www.blahblah.com
Custom field – FAIL
Keywords – FAIL
Title – OK
Body – OK
Excerpt – OK
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
Custom field – FAIL
Keywords – OK
Title – FAIL
Body – OK
Excerpt – FAIL
There’s nothing consistent – some textareas (e.g. Keywords, Excerpt) are not immune and there’s something specific about “/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql” that is causing the issue. Probably the “bin” part – “/asd/zxc/qwe” is acceptable.
I hope this is not going to cause a big problem for us all in the future …

Re: [solved] Plugin code is not saved after editing
Just heard back from my hosting chaps. The URL data submit is triggering this – WAF 340162. There’s an offer on the cards to have it switched off, I’ll keep you posted.

Re: [solved] Plugin code is not saved after editing
This is what has worked for me:
Speak to your friendly hosting provider and ask them to whitelist some ModSecurity IDs:
- 340009 – to fix the “/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql” (or similar) issue
- 340113, 340162 and 340163 – to fix the “http://www.blahblah.com” URL issue
I’m told it works on a per account basis, which includes any subdomains, and is permanent (i.e. doesn’t disappear after a server reboot).

Re: [solved] Plugin code is not saved after editing
I wanted to change the position of the plugin(lam_image_uploader). From left to right.
How to do it?

Re: [solved] Plugin code is not saved after editing
Adi, thanks for the detailled informations!
alivato, the easiest among the possibilites you’re offered here is, probably, you install ied_plugin_composer, and try your editing there. If you can’t save there, too, go local on a XAMP/WAMP/MAMP Textpattern installation, edit it there in ied_plugin_composer, save it as an installable plugin file (.txt) and install that file on your online website.
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Another problematic ModSecurity has the number “390715” at least it did in my case.

Re: [solved] Plugin code is not saved after editing
aslsw66, if you dare and if you have access to phpMyAdmin, you could modify plugin’s code from there.
