406 Error when saving field with url

  • Hello there.

    Im getting this error and is driving me nuts…

    – addon domain on goddady
    – Brand new wordpress installation
    – acf pro developer edition
    – blank theme (index.php, style.css and functions for activating option page)

    – created the options page
    – added a group field to the options page
    – added a url field to the options page group field

    and when trying to save the options page, get the 406 error…

    “406 Not Acceptable

    An appropriate representation of the requested resource /web/wp-admin/admin.php could not be found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

    im guessing its a server related problem… but have no clue what might be…

    any ideas?

    thakns and greetings.

    Note: problem only occurs with acf pro, width acf + option plugin no problem at all.

    Note: this problems dont occur on another server i have access to, so that would point out that is really a server related problem.

    the mayor differences between both servers:

    the problem server does NOT have:
    – curl ipdv6 activated
    – pdo_mysql installed
    – pdo_sqlite installed
    – pdo drivers installed
    – zend guard enabled
    – WDDX Session Serializer enabled
    – ionCube Loader module
    – Internationalization support itnl

    the problem server has:
    – bzip2

    Any idea of what could be the problem?

  • I’m having this same issue and it’s driving me absolutely nuts. Tried changing them to text fields, deleting and re-creating the options page, changing field labels/names – nothing works.

    The thing is, every other field works and I can save the page just fine. It’s only when I input text into those trouble fields and hit update that it throws the error.

    I can only guess it has to do with the text and/or url field in the options page.

    Any help here would be much appreciated, Elliot. I’m fresh out of ideas. Thanks for all the hard work.

  • Meeee toooo!

    PS I/WE love ACF 🙂 Its what pays our rent!

  • I’m having this issue as well.

  • I came to this conclusion/problem as well after banging my head against the desk for hours.

  • I found a work around for this.

    Save the URL’s as “www.google.com” instead of “http://www.google.com” then in your theme change it to

    http://pastebin.com/GZWLBTkT

  • You must use a text field not a URL field and use the HTML escape characters for the colon (:).
    This is something that definitely needs to be fixed because you can’t have a URL field without the http://

  • The HTML escape characters for the colon is ampersand hash tag 5 8 semi-colon. { & # 5 8 ; } without the curly braces or spaces in-between.

  • The solution I found was to do this in the theme:

    <a href="http://<?php the_field('url');?>">...</a>

    and DON’T type

    http://
    into any field in ACF and you’ll be fine.

  • Having same issue here.

  • Exactly the same issue on one site.

  • Hi guys

    This is a super strange issue. More so that it is only with godaddy hosting.
    Has any one contacted godaddy to ask them for server errors to find out why a posted URL is causing such an issue?

    Thanks
    E

  • I have this issue as well, and I’m not hosted with GoDaddy. If I put a “http://&#8221; in a text field or URL field I get a 403 Forbidden and a 404 Not found error.

  • Hi guys,

    I got the same issue 406.
    I did contact the godaddy support. They said the domain hitting the mod sec.
    So they disabled the mod sec.

    Now my site is working good.
    Hope this can help.

  • Did anyone ever figure out what was going on with this issue? I have a client with Bluehost and I’m getting a similar error:

    Not Acceptable!
An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security.

    I get in an options panel for a url field. Oddly enough, other url fields within that panel update just fine. But the three on this tab do not.
