why it is blocking Yandex?

Glad to help. What are the URLs that were reported as 403?

@specialk many urls also the homepage. Thanks

Without some sort of clue, it’s difficult or impossible to say. Yandex itself is not blocked by BBQ, as it’s a legit search engine. To help further, I need some URL or something to look at. BBQ works by checking/blocking URLs. If you can provide examples, I can compare to the firewall rules and see what’s happening. Otherwise, just no way to know.

@specialk this is my website reggiadicasertaunofficial.it

thanks

Yeah that URL is not something that’s blocked by BBQ. Examples of URLs that would get blocked (and thus reported by Yandex) would include patterns or strings that are blocked by BBQ. For example this would be a URL that is blocked:

https://reggiadicasertaunofficial.it/?eval(

@specialk I’ve tried to re enable the plugin and yandex is blocked again. I’ve deleted all the cache now, please check again. thanks

I would love to but there is nothing to check. I have no idea which URLs are getting blocked. As explained, your website home page is not something that is blocked by BBQ. So if Yandex is reporting any URLs, please let me know what they are, otherwise there is nothing I can do to help.

I waited some days to do some tests. Yandex still notifies me of 403 codes, but when the next day I test these urls into yandex webmaster, they have a 200 response code.

So this is resolved? Or is there any other issue, let me know how I can help.
