    Hi leechu84, it looks as though that code is blocking all requests to your site except of those that come from PL (which I’m guessing is Poland?). If you want Google bot to not be blocked, you’ll have to explicitly add the Google bot’s country to your allow list.

    The AIOS free plugin isn’t adding this HTACCESS code. The third part plugin might be adding it.

    This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.

    If you can install plugins, install and activate “Health Check”: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/health-check/
    It will add some additional features under the menu item under Tools > Site Health.
    On its troubleshooting tab, you can Enable Troubleshooting Mode. This will disable all plugins, switch to a standard WordPress theme (if available), allow you to turn your plugins on and off and switch between themes, without affecting normal visitors to your site. This allows you to test for various compatibility issues.
    There’s a more detailed description about how to use the Health Check plugin and its Troubleshooting Mode at https://make.www.ads-software.com/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/

    Can you please make sure that you have unticked the “Block Fake Googlebots” checkbox from Admin Dashboard > WP Security (main menu) > Firewall (submenu) > Internet Bots (tab)?
