MyBB Community Forums

Hi, 

I have installed MyBB forum as a part of my website. Here you can access this discussion board: 

https://www.kidpaw.com/discussion

It looks fine in the browser, No problem with installation or access to any CP. But, When I am trying to fetch this above URL (OR Any) under the /discussion/ it gives my Forbidden 403 error. I have installed "Google SEO" plugin with default settings. 

I need help to fix googlebot issue.

Also, I have added to disable security_mod

<IfModule mod_security.c>
	# Turn off mod_security filtering.
	SecFilterEngine Off

	# The below probably isn't needed, but better safe than sorry.
	SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

My robots.tx is as under:

The whole forum seems to require you to be logged in to access as I just get a no permissions page, so nothing will be able to crawl it anyway, regardless of your robots.txt. If you want your forum to be indexed, you have to actually allow it to be browsed.

Also, your forum seems to be "Powered By Kidpaw", not MyBB, so we can't support it here anyway
