Step 3 - Lastly Edit the web.config file
At the bottom of the system.webserver section, add the following:
<ModSecurity enabled="true" configFile="<FULL PATH>\disabled_rules.conf" />
<FULL PATH> refers to the file path on the server e.g F:\Domains\username\domainname\wwwroot
Please note: Ensure spacing is correct as it will break site if not
This line will call the above-created .conf file and exclude the rule
See below example of the line added to web.config:
