# 00:21 [Serena] On Indiewebify.me if I try to send a webmention it would time out. On MicroPub Rocks, it could also see the endpoints, but it wouldn't let me sign in but give me that "Not Acceptable!" error.
# 00:21 [Serena] I use Bluehost, and my Wordpress updated to WordPress 5.2 - if that makes any difference
# 00:22 GWG [Serena]: What exactly is going on?
# 00:28 [Serena] Well I first noticed this when I tried to log into IndieBookClub.biz yesterday:
# 00:29 [Serena] I went to MicroPub Rocks to see what had broken, but I couldn't even log in, it gave me the same error as above
# 00:29 gRegorLove [Serena], What's the error you get signing in to indiebookclub, and what's your domain?
# 00:30 GWG [Serena]: gRegorLove is the genius behind Indiebookclub.biz
# 00:31 GWG Whereas I'm on the WordPress side
# 00:33 [Serena] domain: supine-owl.com
# 00:34 [Serena] [gRegorLove] and I get the "Not Acceptable!" error
# 00:34 [Serena] Let me copy the exact wording
# 00:34 [Serena] and thanks @GWG [gRegorLove]
# 00:35 gRegorLove Aha, I see. It's "An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security." on the wp-json endpoint, GWG
# 00:35 [Serena] "Not Acceptable!
# 00:35 [Serena] An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security."
# 00:35 gRegorLove It's right after entering the domain and clicking login, no other interaction.
# 00:36 GWG Mod_security would be the hosting provider
# 00:37 GWG This is the first thing that came up on a google search
# 00:38 GWG But, mod_security is a hosting provider issue
# 00:38 GWG They are likely blocking something
# 00:38 GWG But they can analyze their logs and explain what
# 00:39 GWG We had another person with a mod_security issue blocking redirect_uri query strings
# 00:39 GWG [Serena]: You used to have another domain, right?
# 00:40 [Serena] Yeah, but the site is on the same host.
# 00:42 [Serena] I'll need to talk to Bluehost about this - I can only hope they would be willing to do something.
# 00:49 gRegorLove They probably can. It could be the length of the query params, or that there's a URI in them
# 01:03 [Serena] Curious to know where everybody else host their WP sites.
# 01:14 GWG I am seeing this from bluehost a lot in a search
# 01:36 [Serena] So I've contacted their technical team and they said they've created a ticket for me; they said they need a higher level specialist to look into it and get back to me. I'll let you know when I hear back from them.
