 > With 4.2 PT, Hostgator is throwing a 403 also when directly using wp-

 information on what rule is being applied and determine if this is an area
 Core can improve or if HG needs to improve their rule, etc.

 had the same 403 problem with 4.2 PT and it was resolved by my host
 changing a ModSecurity rule.

 He said it was rule 211120, but can't find that rule in the docs anywhere.
