I am implementing ACF with a site with an SSL certificate and that is running the ModSecurity WAF (Web Application Firewall). I created a custom options page and have an ACF repeater field on the options page.
ModSecurity is rejecting the post from the options page and says it is detecting a possible SQL injection attack. This makes it so I cannot save any of the items on that page.
Running the latest ACF and WordPress versions (5.5.12 and 4.7.4, respectively).
Thoughts? Suggestions? Experiences?
What are you trying to submit in your fields. In the few cases I’ve seen this happen it was when trying to submit JavaScript in a field, don’t remember what plugin did it.
I don’t know anything about ModSecurity, but I’d guess that there is some setting that needs to be changed. There’s really nothing in ACF. They do have support and if this was a problem for me that’s where I’d be looking https://modsecurity.org/help.html
