    Hi,

    I am having an issue with google search console submitting my sitemap.

    I have validated my sitemap URL and all looks good. However when I try to submit the sitemap to google search console it has an unable to fetch error and the page fetch status is Failed: Blocked due to access forbidden (403)

    Can you help me identify what is causing this issue please?

    kind regards

    Anthony
