But there are a variety of ways to handle mod_security changes, so if your host says it should work then you can give it a shot and see if it enables your forms to save now. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-updating-after-being-saved#post-21621 Sat, 26 Mar 2011 07:02:12 +0000 guevara 21621@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>ynne:<br /> since we cannot add anything for the server wide settings<br /> Lynne:<br /> we have done this for the domain by adding it in the .htaccess fle</p> <p>IS this any good Carl?? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-updating-after-being-saved#post-21498 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 12:10:53 +0000 Carl Hancock 21498@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@guevara Your host is being overly paranoid. Plenty of users on the forum have had the same issue and updated their MOD_SECURITY settings to whitelist that file. They don't whitelist your entire server, just that single file. We have code in place on our end to prevent injection and malicious attacks using that file. </p> <p>So whitelisting that file is not going to open up your site to hacks. But not whitelisting that file means Gravity Forms isn't going to work because the AJAX can't function properly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-updating-after-being-saved#post-21429 Thu, 24 Mar 2011 19:57:24 +0000 guevara 21429@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Carl just spoke to my host and they have just told me that my site would get hacked if i did that</p> <p>Sam:<br /> your site will not work with out mode security.<br /> Sam:<br /> Your site will be hacked if we allow in it.<br /> Gabriel:<br /> no dont worry i dont want a hacked site<br /> Sam:<br /> okay.<br /> Sam:<br /> So i will remove it from whitelist of mod_security.<br /> Gabriel:<br /> i dont think the developer wanted my site hacked<br /> Gabriel:<br /> ok if it is on whitelist my site could get hacked<br /> Sam:<br /> Yes.<br /> Gabriel:<br /> ok then remove please<br /> Sam:<br /> I have removed it.<br /> Gabriel: </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-updating-after-being-saved#post-21417 Thu, 24 Mar 2011 17:53:31 +0000 Carl Hancock 21417@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm, not 100% sure if it's the same for everyone. Some hosts also have a web interface in their control panel that lets you whitelist things and you simply add that file to the white list. You may need to check with your web host and let them know the solution and they can provide assistance. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-updating-after-being-saved#post-21415 Thu, 24 Mar 2011 17:48:57 +0000 joethoron 21415@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>How do we identify the ID?

I called my host and they made some changes. This was there response.</p> <p>As for the fix, I just added a location match to the modsec2 whitelist located in /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec2/whitelist for the path error in your wp-admin folder: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php and the id 300016.</p> <p>The fix looked like this:</p> <p>&lt;LocationMatch /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php &gt;<br /> SecRuleRemoveById 300016<br /> &lt;/LocationMatch&gt;</p> <p>Then I restarted apache. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-updating-after-being-saved#post-10220 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 14:11:22 +0000 Carl Hancock 10220@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>First try creating a form that consists of just a text input field and a text area field and then save that form. If the form saves fine, then try adding a checkbox, drop down and radio button field the form and save it. </p> <p>Let me know how it goes.
