php - How can I disable mod_security in .htaccess file?

Question

How can we disable mod_security by using .htaccess file on Apache server?

I am using WordPress on my personal domain and posting a post which content has some code block and as per my hosting provider said mod_security gives an error and my IP has gone into firewall because of mod_security.

So I want to disable mod_security by using .htaccess file.

It is possible to do this, but most likely your host implemented mod_security for a reason. Be sure they approve of you disabling it for your own site.

That said, this should do it;

<IfModule mod_security.c>
  SecFilterEngine Off
  SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
