    This has happened a bunch of times, but X theme keeps causing be to get blocked completely from my server, as some function(s) In X Theme cause mod_security to trip on the server, as mod_security thinks I’m attempting and XSS attack.

    Today it happened when I was trying to embed a video. Once I got unblocked, I tried it again and it tripped again.

    Did a search and not seeing anything like this so wondering if anyone else is getting this or know a fix for it?

    I can reproduce it by simply adding a row to a page, adding the embedded video icon, and pasting the YouTube Embed code in. As soon as I save it happens.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for writing in.

    For that matter, you should contact your hosting provider. It only means they aren’t accepting embed by iframe, or similar. They are the only one that could change that setup 🙂

    Thanks!
