SardiniaNET Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Due to the server change of the IPS platforms I manage, it is no longer possible for me to embed content (Youtube but also internal to the forum) in posts, pages and anywhere on the Forum. I was told that it could be a problem related to security and in particular to a rule in modsec (mod security). Is there anyone who could give me clues about this so that I can contact the hoster with accurate information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teraßyte Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 To add some more details to this: the problem are POST requests that contain <iframe> elements being blocked by the server. Like YouTube embeds as mentioned above. SardiniaNET 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I would generally recommend to ask your host to disable mod_security for your website. They can turn it off for your site without effecting other sites on the same server if you're on a shared host. If you're on a VPS, it would be even safer as there is no possibility of other impact. Generally mod_security causes more problems than it fixes in my opinion. Mark H and SardiniaNET 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
