Could be due to .htaccess problem or permalink problem.

it is due to mod_security rules. You need to disable mod_security from your .htaccess

I disabled mod_security from .htaccess, it works now, just small problem remain there, once I place link in anchor text, it does not reflect, thanks for help.

Hi, I'd like to use Wordpress too. I don't know much about editing .htaccess. What is the specific change to be made? What side effects does it have - does it create a vulnerability?

thanks
Chris.

Hello Chris,

Josh had posted a thread to help customers with mod_security problems. Please refer mod_security Fix for more information.

Yes thanks I see that and it seems to be working for me. Of course Josh warns that with the mod one would be open to hacker attack. This is obvioulsy not the best scenario - so is there any additional security that still leaves Wordpress functional ??

Just because mod_security is disabled doesn't mean that your website hosting is vulnerable to hackers. Providing that the software you are using is coded correctly, then you should face no problems.

Wordpress has a good history of security; so disabling mod_security will not be a problem.
