Hello Support,

For a client I would like to make his site accessible for the Yandex search bot, so I took Yandex out of the list of user agents to block (which is set to YES) and remade the htaccess.admintools file.

I did Save and create htaccess and got the message: The new htaccess has been written to disk.

In preview htaccess Maker of Admin Tools, Yandex doesn't show but when I take a look at the file on the server, I still see "SetEnvIf user-agent "(?i:Yandex)" stayout=1" while the date of the file on the server is the date that I created the new .htaccess.admintools file so I don't I don't get it and I assume Yandex is still blocked. Do I miss something?

Regards,
Jan

Hello,

please note that new rules are written on the .htaccess file, file .htaccess.admintools will hold the backup with the previous contents.
