Editing Visual Editor widget redirects to a front end 404

While editing a layout using Site Origin Page Builder, I click edit on a Visual Editor widget, and I am immediately redirected to the front end with a 404, and the same URL.

In the Chrome console I see:

VM2458:1 POST https://www.example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?_panelsnonce=removed8&_fs_blog_admin=true 404 (Not Found)

Previously, in /wp-admin/.htaccess we had:

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

<Files admin-ajax.php>
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
     Satisfy any
</Files>

Commenting out all that code does not resolve the problem.

Help appreciated.

    Hi Insight,

    This error is a common sign of mod_security blocking the request. Please reach out to your hosting provider and ask if mod_security is present and if it is, please ask if you’re getting blocked by it. You may need to provide your hosting provider with an account so they can run some tests to identify the rule that’s triggering this false positive.
