hi, i am migrating from cloudways to plesk. all of my installations are WordPress
there is some security feature in WordPress which is making WordPress not work in the Plesk, how can we fix this?
this is what i see in the plesk log, i have searched and could not figured out how to fix it.
for now, i have done a fresh installation and copied wp-content folders but this is not possible for all installations so i want to know the perfect solution.

Can you disable mod security in Plesk and let me know if that makes any difference ?

@Hari update // website is working!
-
@Hari i will manually migrate it instead of using migration plugins.
Plesk is Plesk
-
@Hari yep. All good then ?
-
@phenomlab i think i managed to migrate the site, but when i visit a few random pages like domain.com/dasfdsfds it is supposed to show WordPress 404 instead Plesk is showing their own 500 page… not sure about this. for now, i am making changes to a few other manual scripts like updating db passwords and paths tomorrow i will keep you posted.
thanks for the quick response

@Hari you probably need to delete the custom 500, 404, and index HTML pages supplied by Plesk.

@Hari you’d have to record the ID of the specific rule that triggers the error in WordPress, then delete that specific rule.
Mod Security is great, but will easily become the worst enemy you can imagine in a very short space of time.
-
@Hari actually earlier error was DB password issue, i forgot to update the new DB password in a custom theme file.
and in plesk we should always use localhost:port number if we just use localhost sometimes it wont connect (i am assuming this)

@phenomlab is completely disabling ModSecurity a good idea?

@Hari depends on the format of the config file, but in most cases, you only need
localhost:portif you are using a custom port. -

No, I wouldn’t recommend it. A better solution would be to use a mod security template that is designed for WordPress rather than the generic one.

@Hari MEME ? Do you mean MIME ?
-
@phenomlab yes yes
-
@phenomlab yes yes
@Hari you’ll also get that error if you are attempting to include a CSS file that is improperly formatted. What is it you’re trying to include ?
-
@phenomlab yes yes
@Hari i just selected WordPress and moved to de activate zone… this is how we need to choose the WordPress template for ModSecurity?

since i am migrating from a different server IDK what the old code is … i see this MIME error in the console, i can ignore it too … as i am not sure what is it … i thought of asking you sir.
