Hi there,
I configured Google Search to read my sitemap and Google reported error 403. Can see that .google.com and .googlebot.com are enabled in WAF exceptions.
Hope you can help me to get this solved.
Thank you
Juergen

You need to add sitemap.xml in a new line in Components, Admin Tools, .htaccess Maker, Allow direct access to these files. Remember to click on the “Save and Create .htaccess” button in the toolbar after making that change for it to have any effect.
