Maybe if I complained more I might have had more success.
But I got tired of calling back.
Bottom line what I have been told by Bluehost.
Talking all net new shared account plans only.

All new shared hosting accounts are wordpress accounts.
It comes with wordpress preinstalled at the root.
Bluehost only supports wordpress and addons that are what are in the cp, But most all are wordpress plugins.
They call it the market place. section.

There is no way to view any mod_security errors on your own.
Customer service can only see high level errors and you need to get 2nd level support to get details..
Current policy is they will not disable Mod_security nor edit any rules anymore.
Even though I was told on the first call they would..
they later stated that person was in error.

Editing htaccess to disable mod_security is ineffective.

In addition I found that zlib comes disabled and input_variables plus post file sizes are inadequate.
But they can be changed on your own in the php ini editor in the control panel.

For now the dirty patch Isaac provided above works.
Thank you
