    Out of the blue seriously started losing traffic and after checking google search console all my site maps have errors. General HTTP error, HTTP Error:
    403. I tried clearing cache, removing and resubmitting sitemaps and still the same thing.

    I have the latest version of WordPress installed and the latest version on Yoast.
    I’ve tried adding the rewrite rule to the htaccess file but still nothing.

    Please, can someone help me with this? My site maps are located at https://martial-arts-review.co.uk/sitemap_index.xml

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    We checked on the sitemap at https://martial-arts-review.co.uk/sitemap_index.xml and this is currently returning a 200 status code for us, which is expected. If you are receiving a 403 error in Google Search Console, we would recommend checking the server configuration to see if anything is blocking Google’s access to the site as a 403 error is forbidden error which can be caused by a number of reasons including permissions, and access rules on the server.
