    Hi There,

    Thanks for an awesome plugin, we’ve been using it happily on lots of sites and its great! However, its causing a 403 forbidden error on sitemaps generated by both Yoast SEO and Google XML Sitemaps plugins. Deactivating All in One and removing .htaccess rules solves the issue, but of course, I’d prefer not to do that! I’ve tried deactivating basic, 6G and legacy 5G firewall protection, but they don’t seem to help. Could you shed any light on the cause for me?

    Thanks,

    Dave

    I solved the issue! Just posting here in case any help to anyone else! The hosting environment required a a redirect to be set for the domain root folder, EG:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /~mydomain/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /~mydomain/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    This caused the 403 error as the plugin’s .htaccess rules block urls ending in a ~
