403 on blog post

Couldn't index my blog posts including this one: [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]

Then just out of curiosity I used the search engine bot sim and I get the following error:

Hello,

perhaps your website blocks bot requests, returning the 403 Forbidden response.

Surprisingly the robots block check returned "none"

I just tried and the URL above wouldn't open for me in browser neither.

Interesting - I disabled the plugin "IQ Block Country" and it works just fine now; problem solved!
