Hi Yigit!
I appreciate the quick response. All plugins are deactivated (it was the first thing I tried), but the problem remains.

I have deleted all .htaccess files on the server. As for contacting the host, I recently contacted about my IP address being blocked frequently, and the sent the reply I’ve pasted below. Is this relevant to this problem as well?

ModSecurity (also known as “modsec”) has proven itself useful in a variety of situations, and again this is true in assisting with WordPress brute force attempts resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. While a number of WordPress plugins exist to prevent such attacks, custom modsec rules can prevent such attacks for all WordPress installations on a server. Modsec immediately filters incoming HTTP requests, which assists against taxing server resources.

These rules will block access for the offending IP address for 5 minutes upon 5 failed login attempts over a 3 minute duration. If you would like to disable mod_security, you can do it as your own risk. Here is some further information and a full explanation for your reference:

If this does not working for you, we can add a domain in to the allow list of ModSecurity

Should I request they turn off mod_security entirely for Enfold to function, or are there specific parameters they need to change?

Mod Security has been blocking my IP Address, triggered by a false positive, which they say can be rectified by disabling the specific rule blocking me. That’s a separate matter from the 404 for the admin ajax script I’d assume. Shall I ask them to disable it entirely?

The problem appears to have been resolved, however my host was unable to whitelist an individual file, and they’ve disabled Mod Security entirely. Is this recommended, and/or are there other security measures (or plugins) recommended for use with this theme now that Mod Security is disabled? I believe, if I knew what rule was triggering the issue I’m having with saving in theme options, they could turn off the rule, but I wouldn’t know how to find it ( I didn’t even recognize the 404 for the admin ajax script.).

Right, I recognized it’s an issue with Mod Security. Since they’re unable to whitelist a specific file (or so they’ve stated), I was only wondering if there’s an alternative recommended to having Mod Security now that it’s disabled. Either way, I can save again, and finally get to work on re-branding.

Thanks for the assistance!

Well, since Mod Security has been disabled, I’ve received at least 100 spam comments on random posts in the last two days. Any recommendations?
