    a problem too with the option : Block Fake Googlebots
    you say in a message : “block all bots which use the “Googlebot” string in their User Agent information but are NOT officially from Google”

    BUT i receive an official mail of google search console who say their bot cant access to css & js…. so if it block all bots like google, not good for SEO ^^ thank you

    Hi, do you have a cache plugin? If you do can you clear that cache. Are there any other plugins that might be causing this issue? Do you have other security plugins installed?

    Can you confirm that the Google message is referring to this plugin? You are the first person out of thousands of users that is reporting this issue. I use this feature on 3 of my website and also on my clients website and have never experienced this issue in Google Web Masters Tools. This is the first time I hear of this issue.

    However we always investigate if anyone reports issues like this.

    Regards

    Okay thank you.

    It sometimes won’t work because of other plugins. If you don’t need any more help can you mark this support thread as resolved.

    Thank you
